With Charles Gammie, I am currently investigating the dynamics of accretion disks around rotating black holes. Specifically, we evolve the MHD equations on a fixed background (Kerr-Schild) using different initial magnetic field geometries.
With Charles Gammie, Jon McKinney, and Luca Del Zanna, I improved existing methods for calculating the primitive variables from the conservative variables in general relativistic MHD equations. I continue to work on improving the stability and accuracy of HARM, our GRMHD code.
In addition, I have also accomplished research in numerical relativity, general relativistic critical phenomena, nuclear physics, high-energy physics and quantum computation. Further information regarding my past and present research activities may be posted here at a future date.
Meanwhile, my Curriculum Vitae is available for browsing.
