Compact objects,
violent mergers,
what survives.
My research background is in numerical relativity and black hole-neutron star mergers. I have studied tidal disruption, gravitational waveforms, ejecta composition, and the formation of low-mass accretion disks after merger.

Black hole-neutron star mergers
Black hole-neutron star systems are useful laboratories for studying strong-field gravity, neutron-star matter, and the conditions under which compact-object mergers may produce observable electromagnetic counterparts.
My work has focused especially on systems near the neutron-star disruption threshold, where relatively small changes in binary parameters can strongly affect how much matter remains outside the black hole and what that matter looks like.

Current interests
I remain interested in compact-object mergers, multimessenger astrophysics, r-process source populations, and the connection between merger outflows and observable transients.
I am also interested in building computational projects that are suitable for undergraduate participation and can grow alongside my teaching work.
For what it is I am currently working on, you will have to reach out. :-)
