He has delivered invited/keynote/plenary lectures at various Conferences and chaired several sessions at international Congresses.
His research is focused on the investigation of several aspects of the nonlinear dynamics of various mechanical systems and models, including buckled beams, shallow arches, rolling ships, inverted pendulum between lateral walls, mathematical pendulum, rigid block, infinite beams on unilateral soil, frictional impact oscillator, bilayer beams. An original method for controlling nonlinear dynamics and chaos has been developed and applied to various mechanical systems. The dynamical integrity of mechanical systems has been investigated, too. Other specific research issues include laying of marine pipelines in deep and ultra-deep waters (the J-lay problem), the dynamic of windscreen wiper, various aspects of the mechanical behaviour of interfaces, and mechanical models for detecting elastic and damaged behaviour of composites. Recently, he has investigated the nonlinear vibrations of non-uniform beams, the effects of the boundary conditions of the nonlinear oscillations of beams, the isochronous oscillations of nonlinear beams, wave propagation in beams on unilateral soil, and exact solutions for nonlinear oscillators and nonlinear dynamics of wind towers.

His academic and professional journey is distinguished by deep expertise in mechanics and civil engineering, with a particular focus on the durability of metallic and cable structures.
his research focuses mainly on the study of the behavior of cables (bridge cables, offshore platform anchor cables, conductor cables, overhead conductors, etc.) and on the characterization of pathologies ( fatigue fretting corrosion of welded assemblies – residual stresses – completion Behavior of gusset plates, bolted assemblies)
His recent studies concern the use of acoustic emission and machine learning tools for smart monitoring of cable damages in bridges, the investigation of dynamic marine power cables that are suitable for application in devices that harness energy from ocean currents, waves, and tides. Other specific research issues include modal analysis of a riveted lattice beam for improved retrofitting operations and the characterization of the mechanical properties of low stiffness marine power cables through tension, bending, torsion, and fatigue Testing.
