Research Interests center on lightweight structural design, ice-ship interaction mechanics, and composite material behavior under dynamic loads. His work bridges computational modeling and experimental validation for applications in marine, aerospace, and mechanical systems.

Scientific Publications (2019–2023) address topics like finite element analysis of ice loads, sandwich panel design for Arctic conditions, and failure mechanisms in composite joints. Key trends include the integration of machine learning for predictive ship performance modeling and probabilistic methods for ice pressure analysis.
