Research

My research interests lie broadly in classical gravitational physics, including the theory of motion (particularly self-force and extended-body effects), the propagation of electromagnetic and gravitational waves in curved spacetimes, and the consequences of nonlinearity in general relativity.

Brief summaries of my papers may be found here. ​See also arXiv, Google Scholar, or ResearchGate for the usual publication lists.
