His research spans mathematical logic (proof theory, normalization) and design disciplines (interaction design, smart textiles, artistic research). He explores intersections of technology, philosophy, and textile aesthetics, including concepts like slow technology and expressive design.

Key trends in his publications include proof-theoretic foundations (1980s-2020s), artistic research methodologies (2010s), and textile-technology integration (2000s-2020s). Notable contributions address definitional reflection, wearable interactions, and sustainability theology.

He served as Chair of the Swedish Research Council's Committee for Artistic Research (2016-2018) and coordinated the EU-funded ArcInTexETN network under the Marie Skłodowska-Curie programs. He supervises doctoral students in design research, though specific names are not provided.
