His theoretical contributions include developing a framework for ecological cognitive architecture, while his experimental work integrates virtual reality and plant behavior studies. Publications span journals like Synthese, Minds and Machines, and Scientific Reports.

His methodological approach combines nonlinear analysis with ecological psychology, seeking to unify theoretical and empirical studies of cognition across biological and artificial systems. Recent work explores the application of active inference and Markov blankets in ecological contexts.

Key Collaborations: He collaborates with institutions such as Western University and contributes to editorial projects, including book editions for Routledge and special issues for the Journal of Consciousness Studies and Topics in Cognitive Science.
