His academic affiliations encompass current faculty duties at Fordham, past visiting professorships at Fundação Getúlio Vargas Law School (São Paulo) lecturing on tax treaties, adjunct roles at Cardozo School of Law, and the Katherine A. Ryan Distinguished Visiting Professorship at St. Mary's University (Institute on World Legal Problems) in Innsbruck, Austria.

His research critically examines tax jurisdictional shifts for individuals and assets, cross-border taxation of derivatives and stock options, and modern financial vehicle taxation. Recent scholarship focuses on ETFs and mutual funds, analyzing in-kind redemption flaws and conflicts between tax-exempt/taxable shareholders. This work bridges theoretical tax policy with practical international finance challenges, emphasizing coherence in U.S. tax frameworks for global mobility and investment.

Publication trends reveal sustained expertise in international tax complexities, with 1991-2007 articles covering Soviet tax reforms, expatriation rules, and securities lending. Post-2014 works pivot to ETFs (2017, 2023) and mutual fund structures (2014, 2016), exposing systemic vulnerabilities in current tax regimes for pooled investment vehicles. His scholarship consistently addresses treaty conflicts and jurisdictional gaps in global finance.
