His research examines Bremen's economic integration into the Atlantic slave system and the city's socio-political discourse on slavery from 1780–1860. Using archival materials like neutrality certificates, court records, and colonial documents, he investigates trade practices of Bremen merchants, including exports of goods directly tied to slave labor, and analyzes biographical patterns of local elites involved in slavery.
He has collaborated with institutions such as the Focke-Museum Bremen and participated in international research projects related to colonial history and economic networks.
