Bertel’s research explores how traditional crafts adapt to digital spaces like Instagram, the domestication of smartphones in urban environments, and shifts in youth communication practices from SMS to social networking platforms. His work often examines the socio-cultural implications of technology integration into everyday life.

Recent publications highlight trends in digital communication, including the mediatization of artisanal work, the role of smartphones in navigation and trust behaviors, and the evolving dynamics of social media in health-related citizen engagement. Bertel’s methodological approach includes both qualitative and quantitative analyses of technology usage patterns.
