Research summary
AI-generated

Jonathan Thornburg works in gravitational physics, focusing on how gravitational waves are produced and how objects like black holes behave according to Einstein's theory of general relativity. Much of the work involves mathematical and computational modeling of extreme systems, such as small objects spiraling into massive black holes (extreme-mass-ratio inspirals) and the vibrations of black holes (quasinormal modes). Some listed publications fall in unrelated areas such as public health, which may reflect shared or ambiguous author names in the underlying data.
