Iuri's primary area of specialization is Contemporary Italian Literature. He has analyzed various aspects of the intellectual work of Cesare Pavese, particularly his translations of American and British authors. In addition to Pavese, he has explored the intellectual and literary context of 1930s Italy, where numerous intellectuals were drawn to American culture and literature. These figures translated works by American authors, contributing to the development of the so-called Americanismo, which was shaped by a mythologized perception of America. 

His scholarly interests also encompass Translation Studies and Digital Humanities. He has investigated how digital technology can be used innovatively to teach the Italian language to American students. In this context, he employed twitteratura—the Digital Social Reading methodology analyzed in his dissertation—in his classes.
