His research explores modern Greek poetry, postwar Italian cinema, and psychoanalysis, focusing on how Greek rituals of mourning inform understandings of 20th-century violence and loss. He is affiliated with the San Francisco Center for Psychoanalysis (SFCP), where he serves as associate faculty, teaching Lacanian seminars and courses on mourning/melancholia. He completed a PhD in Comparative Literature and Critical Theory at UC Berkeley and began psychoanalytic training at the Lacan School of Psychoanalysis in 2023.

Research interests include the intersection of aesthetics and historical trauma, particularly through works responding to the Greco-Turkish War and Population Exchange. His book manuscript, Ash, Bone, Dirt, Stone: Destruction and the Aesthetics of Survival in Greek Literature, examines these themes alongside Freudian drive theory.
Recent publications include an analysis of C.P. Cavafy's poetry in Journal of Modern Greek Studies (2024), addressing how literary forms process collective trauma. His interdisciplinary work bridges literary criticism, psychoanalytic theory, and cultural history.
