His research interests primarily focus on organometallic chemistry, with an emphasis on organolithium chemistry, small heterocycles synthesis and reactivity, asymmetric synthesis, and dynamic NMR spectroscopy. Recently, his research interests have shifted towards the use of flow chemistry as enabling technology. He has published over 150 papers in international peer-reviewed journals, along with several book chapters and reviews. In 2022, he was honored with the "Organic Chemistry and Methodological Aspects" award by the Division of Organic Chemistry of the Italian Chemical Society.
