His research focuses on synthetic biology, chemically fueled self-assembly, and non-equilibrium systems, particularly active droplets, transient nanoreactors, and dynamic coacervate-based materials. Publications emphasize kinetic trapping, oscillatory mechanisms, and molecular design principles for fuel-driven systems.

The articles analyzed reveal trends in chemically fueled assembly (2020–2025), including synthetic flagella, active droplet dynamics, and coacervate-based architectures. Key keywords span Synthetic Biology, Soft Matter Physics, Materials Science, and Chemical Biology.

His work includes collaborations with researchers like Rodon Fores J., Lieleg O., and Boekhoven J. Alexander currently belongs to the Doyle Lab at UCLA, contributing to synthetic chemistry and materials science research.
