He is interested in understanding the relationship between religion, capitalism, and technology. Thus, his Ph.D. dissertation examines the impact of rituals and spirituality on the regimes of value, materiality, and labor of two poles of the tech-industry commodity chains: lithium mining in Bolivia and the development of technologies in Silicon Valley.
His first book, "Biopolítica y Liberación: la noción de vida humana en Agamben y Dussel", was published by the Argentinean Publisher Prometeo in 2023.
