He has held leadership roles across various scholarly organisations. He is the Social Media Editor of the Asian Journal of Communication. He also sits in the editorial board of a peer-reviewed and international academic journals, including the International Journal of Cultural Studies and Convergence.

His research expertise lies at the intersections of digital media, (im)mobilities and migration. More specifically, he is interested in examining the role of mobile devices and networked communication platforms in engendering and undermining transnational relationships, mediated intimacies, caregiving at a distance, crisis communication, and homeland linkages.

His research has been published in top peer-reviewed journals, including Mobile Media & Communication, Media Culture & Society, International Journal of Communication, Information Communication & Society, and ​Communication, Culture and Critique, as well as in specialised edited book collections. His first sole-authored book, "(Im)mobile Homes: Family Life at a Distance in the Age of Mobile Media", was published under the Studies in Mobile Communication series of Oxford University Press (OUP). He is also the author of a collaborative book "Philippine Digital Cultures: Brokerage Dynamics on YouTube", published under the Asian Visual Cultures series of Amsterdam University Press.

His current project explores the digital divide in a transnational and digital context. More specifically, he centres the migrant's home as a critical site to examine a production and negotiation of the digital exclusion in a rapidly changing global and networked world.
