His work explores the interplay between geometric structures and physical phenomena, including studies on lightlike and timelike geodesics, convexity in manifolds, and the mathematical foundations of gravitational lensing. Publications highlight rigorous analytical approaches to problems in causal geodesics and variational principles.

Recent publications demonstrate significant contributions to understanding geodesic connectedness in Randers-Kropina metrics, homotopy properties of differential inclusions, and the application of Morse theory to stationary spacetimes. These works often bridge geometric analysis with control theory and topological methods.
