His research centers on Amazigh studies with deep expertise in Tamazight (Berber, Kabyle, Tuareg) linguistics, spanning syntax, morphology, and lexical semantics. He maintains a strong focus on North African geopolitics alongside broader interests in bilingualism, language contact, heritage languages, dialectal variation, minority languages, and second-language pedagogy. His multilingual capabilities in French, English, Tamazight varieties, Hungarian, and Spanish directly inform his interdisciplinary approach to linguistic diversity.
