His research interests lie at the intersection of competition law and public services, particularly in the healthcare sector. He has extensively published on the application of EU competition law to NHS institutions, hub-and-spoke collusion, state aid, and the public/private distinction in EU law. His work combines doctrinal legal analysis with policy-oriented inquiry, often addressing contemporary regulatory challenges such as NHS privatization and crisis-driven competition law relaxation during the pandemic.
His recent publications show a strong trend toward analyzing competition law in public service contexts, especially healthcare, and exploring doctrinal nuances in EU antitrust enforcement. He frequently contributes to high-impact legal journals and edited volumes on EU law and competition policy.
