His doctoral research focused on the Indian Mahāmudrā tradition in The Seven Siddhi Texts (Grub pa sde bdun) a corpus of treatises composed by seven Indian mahāsiddhas identified among students of the eleventh century master Advayavajra in Nepal and Tibet as some of the earliest works to discuss the tantric theory and practice of Mahāmudrā. In addition to his work as an Associate Translator with 84000 Adam is currently preparing his translations and study of The Seven Siddhi Texts for publication.
