Florian's research intersects harm reduction, digital health interventions, and substance use policy. His work explores AI and big data in opioid disorder management, psychosocial interventions for alcohol use disorders, pandemic impacts on addiction services, and the role of open science in drug policy. He also investigates work-life flow in post-pandemic contexts and online drug use pornography as a performative phenomenon.
Scientific trends in his articles include a focus on digital innovation in addiction medicine, systematic reviews of global treatment practices, and cross-cultural studies of drug policy. His 2025 article on AI in opioid treatment and 2024 systematic review of 23 countries' OAT practices exemplify this.
