His work is at the intersection of computer science and biological systems – he uses tools from computer science to study biological systems and takes inspiration from biological systems to design more efficient human-engineered systems. He is skilled in machine learning techniques and mathematical modelling using spatially explicit agent-based models and computationally tractable differential equation models. He works closely with people from other domains, especially experimentalists and clinicians. His work has been recognized with a University of New Mexico Student Award for Innovation in Informatics in 2010.

He takes pride in writing industrial-strength software, which he attributes to years working in industry and skills honed in academia. As of January 2015, he was ranked within the top 200 worldwide on MATLAB Central (an online repository for Matlab code contributed by users all over the world).
He is a researcher in ethical artificial intelligence applied to complex systems. He applies artificial intelligence techniques to solve human problems. He is also very passionate about outreach, science communication and policy for using science for social good.
