Some of the questions that I am most interested in include: How are jets launched and collimated? What is the physics driving the explosions of supernovae and transients? What are the new fast transients that being discovered by modern telescopes? My research spans the explosions of stars, to the accretion physics of compact objects (black holes, neutron stars and white dwarfs) as they strip material off of companion stars, to the merger of compact objects as revealed by gravitational wave detectors.
