Neil Nagar's research focusses on accretion of matter onto massive black holes in the nuclei of galaxies (so called Active Galactic Nuclei or AGN). He studies the incidence of such AGNs (especially weak AGNs in nearby galaxies), and their properties and evolution. He is also interested in the evolution of accretion activity both with redshift, and along the merger sequence (and eventually the fate of merging black holes). His work primarily uses high resolution radio observations (the Very Large Array and Very Long Baseline Array operated by the U.S.) and optical to near-infra-red imaging and spectroscopy on
