His research centers on tidal disruption events, where supermassive black holes disrupt and accrete stars in galactic centers. Using archival Hubble Space Telescope data, he investigates how these events inform our understanding of active galactic nuclei, galaxy evolution, and strong-field gravity. He also explores the history of scientific thought and the dynamics of science in society.

The absence of publication data prevents trend analysis of his scholarly output.
