His doctoral research focuses on the economic transformations of maritime space in the Western Indian Ocean, particularly in the Comoros archipelago. He examines how the local community and artisanal fishermen perceive and reimagine the ocean, transforming it from a residual space into a place of opportunity and resistance in a globalized world.

Saperi in rotta, a research group dedicated to conceptualizing the sea as an ethnographic fieldwork site by sailing through the Mediterranean Sea.
