His research focuses on data science applications for mobility systems, human-computer interaction, and algorithmic trust-building. He actively contributes to open-source platforms like MIAAS for mobility data analysis and has published on topics ranging from machine learning techniques to digital sovereignty and sustainable consumer technologies.

Recent publications reveal a strong emphasis on shared mobility solutions (peer-to-peer carsharing, electric micromobility), data-driven decision-making (regression analysis, Markov chain methods), and user-centered digital systems (recommender systems, voice interfaces). His work often bridges computational methods with real-world business and sustainability challenges.
