Specializing in phenomenological approaches across diverse domains, González Guardiola's research bridges classical philosophy with contemporary applications. His work critically examines perceptual phenomena in medical contexts, monetary systems, and cognitive processes, establishing him as a leading figure in applied phenomenology within the Spanish academic landscape. The integration of Husserlian methodology with modern scientific challenges characterizes his distinctive scholarly contribution.

His publication record demonstrates sustained focus on kinesthetic anomalies (2020), phantom limb treatment mechanisms (2019), foundational phenomenological texts (2017), and monetary theory (2009), revealing consistent methodological rigor across disparate subject areas. This interdisciplinary trajectory shows particular strength in translating phenomenological insights into practical medical and economic frameworks.
