Between 2021 and 2024, he was the Rothwell Chair Postdoctoral Associate, in collaboration with Rothwell co-chairs Anne Lacaton and Jean-Philippe Vassal. His current research sits at the junction of critical theory and housing architecture, investigating how better apartment plans and free space in residential buildings can address the challenges of high-density cities.
