His research interest primarily lies in Econometric Theory with a focus on time series analysis and Financial Econometrics, where he has mostly been dedicated to the estimation and testing techniques in the context of time series models with nonlinear dynamics applied to Macroeconomic and Financial data. Currently, he is working on detecting change-points in general linear time series models, which accommodate nonlinear dynamics and higher-order dependence, and explosive behaviours.
