His research centers on political ecology, extractivism, and developmentalism in Latin America, with a particular interest in populist movements and state resource policies. He explores how political ideologies such as Marxism and neoliberalism shape governance and environmental outcomes in resource-dependent economies. His current work investigates the politics of lithium mining and energy transitions in the Americas, contributing to broader debates on decarbonization and sustainable development.
