His research focuses on practice theory and process philosophy, particularly how time, materiality, and social organization shape everyday life. Key empirical domains include energy demand, public health, and the sociology of consumption, with a forthcoming monograph on Practice Theory and Process Philosophy: Towards a Sociology of Becoming (Routledge, 2025).
Recent publications analyze organizational flexibility, institutional rhythms, and biosocial dimensions of practice. He explores non-communicable disease prevention through practice theory and examines materiality in healthcare and urban contexts. His work integrates philosophy of process with empirical social science to develop dynamic methodologies.
