My research focuses primarily on the bibliometric mapping of scientific fields (various maps that I have constructed can be found here). I have written a PhD thesis on this topic. Another research interest that I have, which is somewhat separate from the rest of my work, is the construction and analysis of bibliometric performance indicators. In most of my research I am working closely together with Ludo Waltman.
