Previously affiliated with the Faculty of Administration and Information Systems Management (FAMIS) until its closure in 2014, he has coordinated CEEPUS mobility programs since 2017 and serves on the Doctoral Studies Council at the Law Faculty.

His research focuses on EU integration processes, public administration reforms, and Western Balkans diplomacy. Key interests include EU accession criteria implementation, administrative harmonization, cross-border cooperation, and Macedonian governance reforms. His work analyzes transparency mechanisms, anti-corruption measures, and EU regional policy impacts on Balkan states, reflecting deep engagement with EU-Macedonia relations through the name dispute resolution and post-accession challenges.

His publication trends reveal consistent analysis of EU enlargement obstacles since 2016, with recent emphasis on transparency (2020), corruption (2020), and administrative capacity building (2019-2020). The 15 most recent articles demonstrate interdisciplinary approaches combining political science, law, and public administration to address Western Balkans' EU integration challenges, particularly Macedonia's path through administrative reforms and geopolitical complexities.

He actively mentors doctoral students and has participated in EU-funded research projects including ANETREC (2018-2021) on regional cooperation inspired by reconciliation processes. His grant work includes "University Without Corruption" (2018) and "Boosting Citizens' Activism" (2020), focusing on transparency and accountability in Macedonian public administration.
