His work bridges phenomenological philosophy and literary theory to analyze systemic interactions in biological and cognitive processes, particularly within modernist and postmodernist frameworks.
His 2025 dissertation establishes interdisciplinary connections between cognitive science and literary analysis, emphasizing systemic perspectives on mind-life-language entanglement. This research pioneers applications of enactivism to literary studies, suggesting new methodologies for interpreting nature representation in texts.
