His doctoral dissertation investigates Cuban diaspora composers' navigation of contemporary art music amid migration and shifting U.S.-Cuba political-economic landscapes following the 1959 revolution, revealing intersections of exile, artistic expression, and institutional power structures.
Scientific Awards:

Grants and Advising:
His research has received significant funding through the Edward T. Cone Fellowship and Goizueta Foundation Graduate Fellowship, supporting archival work on Cuban diaspora composers. Public records indicate no formal student advising roles, consistent with his current lecturer position focused on undergraduate instruction in music history, theory, and appreciation courses.
