His research spans financialized everyday life (debt collection, credit scoring), algorithmic governance (autonomous systems, digital methods), and open access publishing infrastructures. Current work addresses ethical implications of autonomous systems and sustainability in academic publishing models.
Recent publications explore digital higher education (2025), bibliodiversity (2024), comparative research frameworks (2024), autonomous navigation ethics (2024), and OA policy analysis (2024). These works demonstrate recurring themes of technological mediation in social practices, financial subjectivity, and collaborative knowledge production models.
He supervises students in areas including household economies, AI proliferation, disaster preparedness, and infrastructures of scholarly communication, drawing from science and technology studies, affect theory, and economic sociology frameworks.
He contributes to the Trustworthy Autonomous Systems: Security Node project through EPSRC-funded interdisciplinary research combining social science and computer science approaches to organizational ethics in autonomous systems deployment.
