Research Interests

• Astrophysical Hydrodynamics
• Stellar Dynamics
• Interstellar Scintillation
• Gamma-Ray Bursts

Goodman studies angular momentum transport in accretion and protostellar disks; tidal circularization of close binaries; the dynamical evolution of globular clusters and galactic nuclei; galactic dynamics; radio-wave scintillation in the ISM; & occasionally gamma-ray bursts and cosmology.
