His research centers on Sanskrit philosophical traditions, specializing in Nyāya and Prābhākara schools with critical analysis of authors like Gaṅgeśa, Raghunātha, and Śālikanātha. He investigates epistemological and metaphysical questions regarding absence perception, introspection, and iterated knowledge, while maintaining active interests in philosophy of disability and Dharmakīrtian epistemology. Current projects include a student-friendly translation of Mokṣākaragupta’s Language of Reasoning.
His 2021-2023 publications demonstrate consistent focus on absence theory within classical Indian philosophy, bridging historical scholarship with contemporary debates through rigorous textual analysis and cross-traditional comparisons between Nyāya and Prābhākara frameworks.
