His research spans quantum photonics, optical fibre technology, and topological photonics. He investigates low-noise quantum light sources, frequency conversion for quantum networks, and fibre-integrated quantum memory using warm atomic vapours. His group designs and fabricates both solid-core and hollow-core photonic crystal fibres, enabling novel applications in quantum technologies. A key achievement includes the demonstration of the first fibre guiding topologically protected modes.

The most recent publications show a strong trend in integrating quantum optical components into fibre systems, with emphasis on scalability, efficiency, and robustness. Topics include single-photon sources, quantum memory cells, topological protection, and nonlinear optical processes in engineered fibres. These works are published in high-impact journals such as Quantum Science and Technology, Optics Express, and Physical Review Research, and often involve interdisciplinary collaboration.
