K. Z. Stanek's research focuses on time-domain astronomy, using wide-field sky surveys (notably ASAS-SN, the All-Sky Automated Survey for SuperNovae) to detect and study transient and variable celestial events such as supernovae, tidal disruption events, eclipsing and interacting binary stars, blazar flares, and unusual dimming events. Much of this work involves large observational datasets, statistical analysis of survey catalogs, and collaboration with citizen-science volunteers for classifying variable stars.
