His research focuses on Agent-Based Modeling (ABM) for urban dynamics, combining AI methods with spatial analysis to study:

• Housing market responses to financial shocks
• Land market procedural utility in Greater Cairo
• Uncertainty quantification in spatial-temporal simulations
• Urban segregation patterns in formal-informal contexts

Recent publications analyze:

• EV charging station optimization (SIGSPATIAL '24)
• ABM uncertainty propagation (Philosophical Transactions A)
• Flood resilience and gentrification linkages
