During his residency, he undertook a broad training program encompassing zoo, exotic, and forensic cases, and he also taught on the BSc Veterinary Conservation Medicine course.

His contributions to the field were recognised with the British Veterinary Zoological Society (BVZS) Best Scientific Paper Award in 2023 for his work on cephalopod pathology. He is also actively involved in editorial work for veterinary journals, including Veterinary Oncology.
