His research covers interdisciplinary fields mainly centered on nonlinear dynamics in complex systems (homoclinic phenomena, complexification of nonlinear dynamics, coupled oscillators), spatiotemporal dynamics (turbulence, localized states, solitons, BECs and Schrödinger systems), nonlinear optics (laser stabilization, semiconductor lasers, laser arrays), wave propagation in structured media (non-diffractive propagation, flat lensing, complex index modulations, optical metamaterials) and geophysics (surveying equipment for subsoil exploration).
