His research has focused primarily on operations management in healthcare and analyses of the private consumption sector in healthcare. Currently, his research activities primarily revolve around four issues: the management of Emergency Rooms and Emergency Departments, the logistics of outpatient care, the operational management of the coproduction of healthcare services, and the integration between public and private sectors in care pathways.

His works have been published in Health Policy, Economia e Management, Salute e Territorio, Mecosan, the OASI Report by SDA Bocconi, and ISTISAN (the journal of the Istituto Superiore di Sanità). His research has often been covered in the Italian press (Sole24Ore, Corriere della Sera, Repubblica), thus increasing his visibility nationally.
