His research focuses on the China-Myanmar borderlands, ethnic minorities, material culture, commodity chains, and sustainable development. He combines anthropological theory with ethnographic methods to study extractive industries and human-material interactions, particularly in jade trade networks. His work is deeply interdisciplinary, bridging sociology, anthropology, and development studies.
His recent publications explore themes such as value negotiation in counterfeit markets, human-jade ontologies, and frictions in trans-Himalayan trade. These works highlight a consistent interest in how meaning, value, and identity are constructed in marginalized and border regions under global economic pressures.
