His research focuses on market design and microeconomic theory, particularly in financial markets, online trading platforms, and non-monetary allocation of indivisible goods. He applies game theory to analyze sports dynamics like tennis and football penalties, and investigates mechanisms like BRACE for combinatorial exchanges.

As an educator, he has lectured at University of Oxford and served as Teaching Assistant at ETH Zurich and University of Zurich, covering game theory, market norms, and computational social science. He also consults for platforms like Rally (collectible asset trading), Orderfox (industrial manufacturing), and ASVZ (sports course allocation).
