Research Activities

Quasar Outflows - We are interested in a number of different aspects of quasars outflows: their geometry, their physical conditions, their velocities, how these are related to physical parameters (e.g., black hole mass, accretion rate), and how outflows affect the galaxy hosting the quasar.

Post-Starburst Quasars
