RESEARCH INTERESTS

Professors Price's research deals with the general theory of relativity, and especially its applications to astrophysical systems. A particular interest is black hole physics and, recently, black holes as sources of detectable gravitational waves. He is also interested in applied physics and in applying physics to interdisciplinary problems. A further professional interest is physics education.
