Professor Salgado is interested in various aspects of Special Relativity and General Relativity, which is Einstein's (now experimentally well-tested) Theory of Space, Time, and Gravity. He uses geometrical techniques, applied mathematics, computation, and scientific visualization to be better understand relativity and to make it more accessible and understandable to others. He developed a new method of graphical calculation for relativity, called "Relativity on Rotated Graph Paper". More recently, he has been using similar methods to analyze PV-diagrams in thermodynamics. He is an advocate of using computation (e.g. Desmos, GeoGebra, and WebVPython) to better understand physics.
