Completed research projects are the edition of Heimito von Doderer's letters to Dorothea Zeemann and the FWF project “Concrete Poetry and Mimesis” at the Austrian Literature Archive of the Austrian National Library.

His habilitation project “Cognitive Literary Studies. A critical inventory ”is intended to present the young literary paradigm of the application of cognitive science knowledge to the consideration of literature in a critical manner. In case studies, the relationship between poetry and "consciousness" or poetry and "spirit" will be investigated on the basis of explicit or implicit underlying poetologies for works of poetry and prose since the end of the 18th century. The interdisciplinary research framework is defined by three disciplines: cognitive science , analytical philosophy of mind and literary studies .
