His research is centered in phenomenology, particularly the works of Husserl and Alfred Schutz, and the political philosophy of José Ortega y Gasset. He explores themes such as consciousness, embodiment, liberalism, democracy, and the intersections of philosophy with theology and social theory. His recent publications reflect a sustained engagement with phenomenological analysis, political discourse, and the philosophical implications of AI and modern cultural crises.

The trends in his recent articles show a deep integration of classical phenomenology with contemporary issues—ranging from AI consciousness to democratic theory and embodiment. His work bridges continental philosophy with social and theological concerns, often drawing on historical philosophical debates to address modern challenges.
