Much of my current research involves the Zwicky Transient Factory. We are the leading group internationally in discovering new ultracompact white dwarf binaries, particularly those detectable by the upcoming space-based gravitational wave mission, LISA.

I am also actively working with Walid Majid at JPL, using the antennas of the NASA Deep Space Network (DSN) to search for millisecond pulsars at the Galactic Center and make observations of magnetars and FRBs.

I also dabble in asteroid detection with ZTF, working with collaborators at IPAC.

In the past, I have worked on low-frequency gravitational wave astronomy as U.S. co-chair of the LISA International Science Team.

Other areas of my research have included: cosmic-ray astrophysics, gamma-ray astronomy, high-performance computation and virtual observatories.
