Publication trends reveal interdisciplinary engagement with transport history (jetliner markets), historical epidemiology (Spanish Flu in mining), and quantitative methods in historical research. His peer-reviewed articles and book chapters analyze topics from WWI bond markets to post-WWII structural changes in coal industries.
