Research Interests:
Multiwavelength time-domain studies of active galactic nuclei (AGN) and relativistic jets; radio-to-gamma-ray variability, spectral evolution, interband time delays, and quasi-periodicity of blazars; multi-messenger associations between AGN activity and high-energy neutrinos; radio properties of high-redshift quasars, young radio sources; and single-dish radio continuum observations, calibration, and data-analysis methods for radio telescopes.
