His research focuses on the sustainable development of islands, with various strands including climate mitigation and adaption, sustainable energy, the implementation of the sustainable development goals and education for sustainable development, especially STEM based TVET. He has a passion for TVET and considers himself a ‘pracademic’- where practice meets academia.

He serves on the Curriculum Committee and the Academic Board of the TAMCC.
