His research spans climate change communication, framing techniques, decision making processes, and effective communication strategies, with a particular focus on Australian contexts.

Dr. Badullovich's work contributes to several UN Sustainable Development Goals focused on environmental protection and sustainability. His recent publications examine topics such as climate museum experiences, policy advocacy related to climate change, knowledge brokering between science and policy, and predictors of support for climate activism.

He is actively involved in the "Evaluation Plan for Wadandi Track Project" with the Department of Transport in Western Australia, where he serves as Investigator 05. This project runs from June 12, 2025, to June 30, 2026.
