His research explores Cold War-era discourses on animals, technology, and humanism, as well as contemporary biotechnological responses to extinction. Current projects investigate how security, countercultural, and cybercultural frameworks shape speculative narratives about the Anthropocene. He co-organizes interdisciplinary initiatives like The Art and Science of Species Revival symposium and edits Creaturely Fear on animality in horror cinema.
Publications analyze works by Philip K. Dick, Kurt Vonnegut, and J.G. Ballard, focusing on themes like risk, misanthropy, and fossil imaginaries. His writing bridges literary analysis with critical theory, biopolitics, and eco-critical frameworks.
