His research spans Social Anthropology, Development Studies, and Gender Studies, with emphasis on economic crisis responses, poverty, conflict resolution, and local resource management in rural Java. He critically examines intersections between state development policies and community-level adaptations, particularly during Indonesia's economic turmoil.
His early 2000s publications reveal interdisciplinary trends blending anthropology with socio-economic analysis, focusing on ethnographic studies of crisis survival strategies and gender dynamics in Javanese societies.
He was awarded a fellowship at the Netherlands Institute for Advanced Study (NIAS) from September 2000 to June 2001, which catalyzed his research on Indonesia's economic crisis impacts and supported manuscript development for multiple book projects.
