We are currently at the dawn of the multimessenger astrophysics era. My research interests span this field; studying gravitational waves, high-energy neutrinos, and X-ray to gamma-ray photons. 

I am a member of the Neil Gehrels Swift Observatory team (and lead of the Swift X-ray Telescope), where I spend most of time searching for faint gamma-ray burst (GRB) counterparts to gravitational wave events. I developed the NITRATES pipeline, which performs the most sensitive searches for faint GRBs . 

I am also a member of the IceCube Collaboration where I'm interested in searches for high-energy neutrino sources, especially from X-ray bright active galaxies. 
 

I am also the co-lead of the Institute for Gravitation and Cosmos' (IGC) Multimessenger Astrophysics of High-Energy Cosmic Neutrinos Focus Initiative, where we strive to astrophysics and particle physics with astrophysical neutrinos. Feel free to contact me if you would like to be a part of this initiative! 

I'm always looking for collaborators, students, or anybody to discuss ideas with, so if you're interested feel free to contact me or just stop by my on campus office in Davey 445, where I am about half the time.
