His research centers on health disparities, access to care, and outcomes for vulnerable populations, particularly individuals with sickle cell disease and those suffering acute ischemic stroke.

His work combines epidemiological analysis with health services research to inform nursing practice and policy reform.
His recent publications (2021–2025) reveal a consistent focus on the impact of Medicaid expansion on stroke outcomes and the healthcare utilization patterns of patients with sickle cell disease. These studies employ large national datasets and emphasize cost, access, severity, and equity, reflecting a strong commitment to evidence-based health policy.
