He critically evaluates punishment frameworks through neurolaw perspectives and explores law’s relationship with religion, particularly in analytic theology contexts. His interdisciplinary approach combines legal philosophy, neuroscientific insights, and theological ethics.

His spare time is dedicated to fine art painting, reflecting his background in Fine Art, Divinity, and Philosophy of Religion from studies in London and Aberdeen.
