He has contributed to projects with NSW Government, University of Florence, and University of Catania.

Recent publications emphasize transportation policy evaluation (e.g., low-cost public fares), EV adoption barriers, and behavioral modeling frameworks. He co-authored studies on Australia's EV charging infrastructure and Brazil's gasoline demand under EV penetration. His work frequently employs advanced statistical methodologies like stochastic frontiers and latent variable models.

Awards include Swiss National Science Foundation scholarships for postdoctoral research. He collaborates with institutions like the Net Zero Institute and has engaged in media commentary on EV sustainability and policy implications through outlets like The Conversation and The Senior.
