Shapiro Group
Numerical simulation (2015) of jet formation following the merger of a black hole with a magnetized neutron star.

Holder and Vieira Groups
Brief tour (2012) of the South Pole Telescope, before it's newest upgrade.

Witek Group
Numerical simulation (2020) of a head-on collision of two black holes in a modified gravity theory, in which black holes have additional attributes ("hair") not present in general relativity. Understanding those phenomena is important to perform strong-field tests of gravity, e.g., with gravitational waves.
