This researcher works on surgical oncology and health economics, focusing on evaluating the costs and outcomes of surgical procedures for cancers such as gastric, pancreatic, and esophageal cancer, as well as other conditions requiring surgery like gallbladder disease and hernias. Much of the work involves cost-effectiveness analyses comparing different treatment approaches (e.g., robotic vs. laparoscopic surgery, or different biopsy methods) to help determine which options provide the best value for patients and health systems. The research also touches on early cancer detection methods, such as biomarker-based diagnostic tests for Barrett's Esophagus and esophageal cancer.

Publication output has grown from a handful of papers per year in 2017-2019 to a higher and somewhat variable pace since 2020, with a peak in 2023, suggesting an overall increasing but fluctuating trend over the last decade.
