Research

Dr. Harvanek's research interests are currently centered on the optical and radio structure, environment, and evolution of radio galaxies and quasars, and on the relationship between radio galaxies and quasars. He is primarily an observationalist, concentrating on optical and radio (synthesis) imaging. He has also done work in the areas of gravitational lensing and AGN variability monitoring.
