Professor Katz's current work focuses on astronomical Fast Radio Bursts. These brief (millisecond) bright events are believed to originate at "cosmological" distances, but their sources and mechanisms remain a mystery. He is studying the statistics of waiting times between episodic events, from repeating Fast Radio Bursts to seismology and slip in plastic flow.
