His lines of research focus on the legal tradition and political doctrines of the Modern Age, on the history of law in the ancient kingdom of Valencia and on the history of universities. He has been a member of several research groups on these subjects, within the framework of various projects financed by public institutions. Since 1992 he has been working in an interdisciplinary group on the history of universities, which has been receiving funding through research projects uninterruptedly since 1987, and which is today a reference nucleus on the subject at an international level. Likewise, since 2009, and integrated in another multidisciplinary group formed by academics from different universities, he has been working on law and politics in the Crown of Aragon during the Modern Age; and, especially, on the abolition of the fueros of Valencia and the political, legal, social and economic transformations that the old kingdom underwent after the application of the new governmental plant, as well as the survival of the foral law. He has published several articles and papers on this subject.

He has recognised four six-year research terms and six five-year teaching terms.
