Research Interests

• Theoretical and observational studies of the gaseous medium in the Milky Way, in other galaxies, and in clusters of galaxies.
• High-energy astrophysics
• Much of my current research is related to the missing normal matter (baryons) in the universe, along with studies of intermediate mass black holes, elliptical galaxies, and globular clusters.
