His primary research interests include CO2 and hydrogen storage, constitutive modeling of soils, chemo-mechanical processes in clays, unsaturated soil mechanics, slope stability, and waste disposal systems. His work integrates theoretical, numerical, and experimental approaches to address challenges in energy geotechnics and sustainable infrastructure.

His recent publications focus on the long-term behavior of engineered barriers, caprock integrity for energy storage, and hydro-mechanical responses of soils under environmental stresses. These works reflect a strong trend toward sustainable energy solutions, environmental protection, and advanced computational modeling in geotechnics.

Scientific Service and Recognition:

• Member of the Editorial Board, Géotechnique (2014–2016)
