Dr. Sudvarg’s research focuses on robust and adaptable real-time computing systems. He seeks to apply rigorous computational models from real-time, safety-critical, and control systems applications to multi-messenger and time-domain astrophysics.

As software lead for the ADAPT collaboration, he is designing hardware and software platforms to perform multiple-Compton reconstruction and gamma-ray burst localization aboard high-altitude and satellite telescopes to enable prompt follow-up observations of astrophysical transients with bounded latency guarantees. He is also interested in accelerating other computational astrophysics applications such as GR ray tracing, and he has collaborated to implement orders of magnitude speedups in the COSI data analysis pipelines for imaging pulsars and active galactic nuclei.
