His work investigates the dynamics of information spreading, algorithm efficiency, and community detection in social networks. Key methodologies involve influence-spreading matrices, local maxima quality functions, and statistical mechanics applications.

Recent publications analyze partial breakthrough effects, ego-centric network structures, and optimization algorithms for influence spreading. These studies contribute to understanding complex network behavior in computational and social contexts.

Collaborators include Kimmo K. Kaski, Henrik Aalto, and Daniel Monsivais, with publications appearing in journals like Scientific Reports and Physica A.
