His research bridges artificial intelligence (e.g., neural networks, genetic algorithms) and behavioral/social sciences, particularly in burnout and work engagement studies. Current work integrates computational modeling with psychological resilience analysis to address occupational stress and well-being.

Recent publications highlight his use of concatenated neural networks for burnout modeling (2016), cross-cultural resilience studies (2014–2022), and emotional wellness strategies in healthcare (2022). Collaborations span the University of Salzburg, Autonomous University of Madrid, and Auckland University.

He has contributed to journals like Ergonomics, Journal of Happiness Studies, and Open Journal of Social Sciences, and serves as a reviewer for the International Journal of Nursing Studies and The R Journal.
