His research investigates strong-field gravitation through simulations of black hole-black hole, neutron star-neutron star, black hole-neutron star, and white dwarf-neutron star binaries. Key areas include gravitational wave modeling, electromagnetic signatures, neutrino emissions, and equation of state constraints for nuclear matter. Recent work explores eccentric mergers in globular clusters, spin-flip mechanisms in X-shaped radio galaxies, and planet formation around pulsars.
The 15 most recent publications highlight his expertise in numerical relativity, general relativistic MHD, and radiation transport. These works examine charged black hole mergers, ultrarelativistic particle dynamics, accretion disk variability, and novel periodicities in jet power from binary black hole systems. His simulations underpin gravitational wave detection by LIGO/Virgo/KAGRA and future missions like eLISA.
