His research interests involve the origin and evolution of matter in the universe from the first instants of cosmic expansion in the big bang to the present complex interactions of stars and gas in galaxies. He has developed supernova models and simulations of binary neutron stars to explore effects of the nuclear equation of state at high density. He is also studying inflation models of the early universe and the formaption of primordial black holes.
