Yuri Levin is interested astrophysics in the broadest sense and in the physics of gravitational-wave interferometers (e.g., LIGO). He has worked on thermal and quantum noises in LIGO, on the r-mode instability in rapidly rotating neutron stars, on the theory of type-I x-ray bursts, and on the stellar and gas dynamics around supermassive black holes. Currently, Levin is working on a new method of estimating the mass of the Galaxy and on the precession of neutron stars.
