My research interests are in Theoretical Astrophysics. I work on
three main issues: Galactic Dynamics (stability and evolution of disk
galaxies; starburst galaxies; stability of rotating self-gravitating
stellar and fluid systems), Active Galactic Nuclei (physics of broad-line
regions; radiation-driven winds; hydromagnetic winds; stability of MHD plasma),
Accretion Disks (stability of winds in active galactic nuclei and cataclysmic
variables)
