His recent book co-authored with Alex Sarch, The Moral Prerequisites of the Criminal Law (2023), examines the role of morality in criminalization.
Teaching responsibilities include Criminal Law II, Jurisprudence, Legal Obligation and Punishment. His research has been supported by grants such as the Leverhulme Trust Early Career Fellowship (Internal Constraints to Coercive Harm Prevention) and AHRC funding (Preventive Justice Project).
