His primary research interests lie at the intersection of computational chemistry and materials science, particularly in ferroelectric polymers and theoretical physics. His work emphasizes the use of density-functional theory to investigate structural, vibrational, and electronic properties of polymeric materials such as beta-phase poly(vinylidene fluoride). These studies contribute to understanding polarization mechanisms and dielectric responses in advanced functional materials.

The available publications reflect a focused research trajectory in theoretical and computational modeling of polymer systems, with emphasis on first-principles calculations of charge dynamics and phonon behavior. This indicates a strong alignment with condensed matter theory and computational materials chemistry.
