His research focuses on migration, transnational kinship, and affective circuits. He has published extensively on cross-border marriages, LGBTQ+ kinship practices in Kenya, and Nigerian migration dynamics in Europe. His work challenges state-centric categorizations of migration and explores how migrants navigate bureaucratic systems through familial and affective networks.
Recent publications span topics including "Age is just a number" (2025), which examines aging and queer migrant agency, and the 2024 book Cross-Border Marriages, which interrogates state policies and familial practices. His academic output reflects trends in critical migration studies, ethnographic analysis of kinship, and affective labor in transnational contexts.
