His research spans several key areas:

• Simulation-Based Learning: Development and application of virtual reality systems like Va.Si.Li-Lab for studying social interaction patterns in educational contexts.
• Critical Online Reasoning: Analysis of information evaluation strategies among young professionals across medicine, law, and teaching domains.
• Multimodal Communication: Quantification of speech, body movements, and gestures in conflict resolution scenarios.
• Language Technology: Construction of German semantic role labeling datasets and cross-linguistic comparisons.
• Group Creativity: Evaluation of human and AI dialogic interactions through entailment analysis and semantic embeddings.

Recent publications demonstrate his focus on VR-based educational technologies, with 2025 work showing advancements in task context prediction and multimodal pattern analysis. His 2024 contributions include hybrid approaches for visualizing critical online reasoning structures and measuring group creativity in dialogic systems. Earlier work established foundational datasets and models for German language processing (2021) and cross-domain information bias analysis (2020).

Collaborates with Alexander Mehler, Giuseppe Abrami, Christian Spiekermann, and other multidisciplinary researchers across Germany. His work consistently bridges computational linguistics with educational science, emphasizing practical applications in immersive learning environments.
