Research examines the fund management industry through sociological lenses, analyzing practices, historical narratives, and responses to ESG transitions. Current projects investigate recruitment cultures, organizational uses of history, and practitioner adaptations to sustainable finance frameworks.

His work demonstrates how field-level changes in sustainable finance are mediated through individual value negotiations and organizational practices.
