He is the author or co-author of over 200 peer-reviewed publications, with key works on spin relaxation in semiconductors, which he studies at both a theoretical and experimental level. He also applied his knowledge of magnetic phenomena in solids to the problem of animal magnetoreception, in particular of garden warblers.
