His research focuses on computational modeling of runaway electron dynamics, synthetic diagnostics for tokamak radiation, and disruption mitigation strategies. He develops and maintains key simulation frameworks including DREAM, STREAM, and SOFT2, which analyze runaway electron generation, suppression, and radiation characteristics in fusion devices.

Recent publications highlight his work on reduced kinetic modeling of shattered pellet injection, scrape-off losses in disruptions, and ECRH impacts on runaway beams. These studies span tokamaks such as ASDEX Upgrade, TCV, and ITER, emphasizing fluid-kinetic coupling and Bayesian optimization techniques.
