His work spans topics such as viscoelastic foundations, flutter analysis, road roughness identification, and structural health monitoring. He employs advanced methodologies like the unsteady compressible source and doublet panel method, operational modal analysis, and machine learning techniques for diagnostics.

Recent publications highlight his contributions to vibro-acoustical analysis of microsystems, robustness of measurement probes, and shock response synthesis in aerospace. His research also explores fluid-structure interactions in nanoscale systems and energy harvesting from vibrating polymers.

Professor Soria actively investigates the dynamics of sharp-edged beams, helicopter cabin vibrations, and vehicle suspension performance assessment. His studies often bridge theoretical models with experimental validation, particularly in scenarios involving Brownian excitation, hydrodynamic coupling, and seismic loading.
