His formally stated research focuses on Acting and African American actors within theater studies, examining representation and performance practices. Intriguingly, his publication record reveals extensive contributions to global surgery and anesthesia literature, creating a notable divergence between his institutional profile and scholarly output that suggests unexplained interdisciplinary engagement.

Analysis of his 15 most recent publications (2019-2025) shows consistent emphasis on improving surgical/anesthesia systems in low-resource settings. Key themes include capacity building through training consortia, ethical frameworks for medical outreach, and sustainable healthcare infrastructure development, primarily targeting Sub-Saharan Africa and Central America.
