His research explores interdisciplinary topics such as pH oscillations in confined systems, active colloids, nanoparticle assembly using magnetic traps, and stochastic reaction networks. Key contributions include the development of reduced models for pH oscillators in lipid vesicles and the study of collective dynamics in colloidal systems. His work frequently bridges theory and experiment, as seen in collaborations with groups like P. Tierno's lab.

Recent articles highlight advancements in understanding stochastic rhythms in confined enzymatic reactions, directional locking in colloidal monolayers, and the interplay of hydrodynamics and entropy in particle transport. His theoretical frameworks address challenges in nonlinear dynamics, pattern formation, and hybrid modeling approaches.

Teaching spans over a decade, covering core physics topics from thermodynamics to stochastic processes, often integrating his research expertise into course content. He is affiliated with the 'Theory of Stochastic Processes' group at Humboldt University.
