His research interests include Chaos theory, Climate dynamics, and Networks. He is the author of more than 140 peer reviewed scientific publications and of eleven books. Four of these books are research books, two are textbooks (one translated into Chinese), two are popular science books (entitled Randomnicity: Rules and Randomness in the Realm of the Infinite and Aristotle's Weather then and now), one is a translation into English of the epic Greek poem Kyra Frossini, and one is a novel entitled Parallel. The eleventh is this blend of poems, personal experiences, science, math, photography, and art.
