His research focuses on the self-assembly of three-dimensional porphyrin-based materials, which lies at the intersection of inorganic chemistry and advanced materials design. His work contributes to the development of functional molecular architectures with potential applications in catalysis, sensing, and nanotechnology. As an educator, he teaches foundational and analytical chemistry courses including Chem 111, Chem 211L, Chem 212LR, and Chem 341WI.

While no specific publications or research trends can be detailed from the available text, his research interests suggest a strong emphasis on synthetic strategies for creating complex organic-inorganic hybrid systems through non-covalent interactions.
