His research focuses on the observable properties of black holes and the impact growing black holes have on their environment and the universe at large, using a combination of analytic and computational methods. Other research areas of interest include the growth and evolution of cosmic large scale structure and the development of numerical techniques to study astrophysical fluids and plasmas. He is currently working with his postdoc Brian Morsoni and graduate student Samuel Friedman on the interaction of relativistic jets black holes with their environment (in galaxies and galaxy clusters). He works on the analysis of X-ray emission from black holes and neutron stars with postdoc Dave Pooley and grad student Paul Sell.
