Research
My current research involves a mathematical study of force-free electrodynamics, and the active magnetospheres of black holes. I seek solutions describing the primary mechanism behind jet formation (see figure on left) in supermassive black holes and active galatic nuclei.

I am also interested in energy conservation in Lorentzian warped spacetimes.
