Alongside his teaching responsibilities, he plays an active role in research-capacity development across Uzbekistan, guiding early-career scholars in research design, analytical thinking, and scientific writing.

His academic journey began at TSUE, where he completed his undergraduate studies in 2005 before continuing into advanced training in economics and research methodology. Prior to university, he studied at the Bank and Economy Lyceum in Gijduvan, an experience that sparked his early interest in global markets and economic systems.

He has authored analytical studies on countries including Argentina, Portugal, Canada, France, Japan, and various Middle Eastern economies, reflecting a deep interest in comparative international analysis.

His scholarly output is notable. He has accumulated over 100 Google Scholar citations, written numerous conference papers, and collaborated on studies published in indexed academic platforms. His work frequently combines econometric modeling, network visualization tools, PCA-based digital economy assessments, and cross-country comparative frameworks. Outside academia, he also maintains a connection to traditional Uzbek culture, playing musical instruments such as the doira and dovul, blending scientific curiosity with artistic expression.
