Below is an abbreviated version of my CV.
Accretion onto stellar mass and supermassive black holes, especially X-ray binary outbursts and quasar unification. I am particularly interested in how accretion disks (and outflows) evolve with accretion rate, from the quiescent through super-Eddington regimes
Relativistic jets from accreting black holes
Populations of stellar mass and supermassive black holes in galaxies, and their implications for black hole formation and growth
Survey science, data mining, and statistical analysis
