His research focuses on energy transition policies, environmental sociology, and social representations of resource development. Work combines quantitative and qualitative methods to analyze public attitudes toward climate technologies across North America and Europe. Recent projects investigate decarbonization policy design and community responses to energy infrastructure.
Publications demonstrate consistent focus on environmental governance mechanisms, with recent emphasis on sustainable transportation policy and COVID-19 impacts on public spaces. Articles employ mixed-methods approaches to examine policy acceptance across different socio-political contexts.
Current Projects:
- Hydro-mechanics of fluid-induced seismicity in green energy transitions (NERC)
