Research interests center on aging populations, fear learning mechanisms, and social support systems. At the neuroscience level, they investigate amygdala-prefrontal cortex interactions during fear conditioning. In gerontological studies, they explore community-based initiatives for aging support and the psychological impacts of financial and social dependencies.

Their recent publications (2021-2025) demonstrate a thematic focus on aging-related well-being, with empirical studies on depressive disorders in older adults, fear learning synchronization, and community support mechanisms. Research methodologies include case studies, semi-structured interviews, and neuroimaging techniques.
