He specializes in analyzing linguistic complexity (lexical and syntactic) to inform curriculum design and teaching practices. His PhD research involved adapting English-focused linguistic analysis tools for Spanish texts.
Prominent publications include studies on digital internationalization projects in Spanish education (2025), lexical sophistication in L2 Spanish writing (2023), and task complexity effects in foreign language writing (2023). These works bridge theoretical research with practical classroom applications.
