His research explores immersive analytics through projects like VR-based emotion elicitation, physics-informed AI for simulations, and AI-enhanced visual storytelling frameworks. Recent work applies Generative AI to graphics and reinforcement learning for location recommendation systems. Publications highlight interdisciplinary impact across conservation, healthcare, and disaster management.

Article trends show: (1) 2025 focuses on AI-driven graphics and location recommendation systems (2) 2023-2024 emphasizes VR analytics, wildfire modeling, and AI-human collaboration (3) 2018-2022 expands visualization narratives, eye-tracking, and emotion analysis (4) pre-2015 foundational work in heterogeneous computing and VR tele-operation.

Major contributions include:

• Co-developing Gravity++ for interactive data storytelling
• Advancing VR for conservation and mining robotics
• Pioneering touchless biofilm interaction systems
• Establishing frameworks for 3D urban analytics and medical imaging
