His work emphasizes understanding and improving network performance through theoretical frameworks, with contributions to Aloha protocols, network coding, and erasure channel analysis. Recent publications explore trade-offs between throughput and fairness in wireless networks, stability region approximations, and delay optimization in broadcast systems.

He has collaborated on projects extending his doctoral research into broader network optimization contexts. His expertise is reflected in peer-reviewed journals and conferences such as IEEE Transactions on Information Theory and the IEEE International Symposium on Information Theory.

Currently part of Imperial's Information Processing and Communications Lab, his research continues to bridge theoretical insights with practical network design challenges.
