About
Research Interests
• Understanding the interface of supermassive black holes (SMBHs) and galaxies.
What does a galaxy need to do to feed a black hole efficiently? How effectively can a black hole influence its host galaxy?
• Observational search for and theoretical predictions of binary black hole pairs.
Develop search strategies to find compact supermassive black-hole binaries based on predictions by analytical and computational models. Using advanced statistical techniques to search for dual AGNs and binary SMBHs.
• Observational studies of SMBHs as a population with respect to their host galaxies.
Multi-wavelength observations with cutting edge instrumentation and numerical models to identify SMBHs, measure their masses, and catalog their demographics to understand their formation, evolution, and role in galaxy evolution.
• Observational and analytical modeling of accretion onto the smallest AGNs.
Build understanding of how accretion and outflows work in general by investigating how they work in the lowest mass black holes. I do this through multi-wavelength observations to construct the spectral energy distribution (SED) of AGNs known to have low-mass black holes.
