He specializes in critical editions of 12th-14th-century Franciscan texts and debates on divine omnipotence, notably between Duns Scoto and William of Ockham. His publications analyze ontological triads (essence/virtus/act), beatific vision, and the interplay between innate truths and divine exemplars.
He has contributed to understanding the practical-spiritual dimension of theology in Franciscan tradition, particularly through works like Pietro Aureolo's Scriptum and Reportatio. His articles explore how medieval thinkers navigated the speculative/practical divide, emphasizing affective knowledge.
