He is a memory studies scholar, and his research lies in the intersection between visual culture, difficult heritage and affect theory. At the moment he is working on two research projects: the first on the relationship between AI images, war imaginaries, cultural heritage and emotions; the second on the representation of genocide perpetrators in visual arts and memory museums.
