His research focuses on mathematical modeling of biological phenomena, including bacterial collective movement, cell polarization, and ecological invasion fronts. He has contributed to interdisciplinary studies combining transport equations, nonlinear dynamics, and kinetic theory of gases to explain biological processes.

He is involved in mathematics outreach through the traveling exhibition 'Mathàlyon' and the 'Math-en-folie' summer school. His ERC Starting Grant (MESOPROBIO) funds collaborative research with institutions like the Mathematics Institute of Toulouse (IMT) and the Laboratory of Mathematics of Chambéry (LAMA) from 2015 to 2020.
