Dr. Toale's research is in the field of particle astrophysics, an area that uses fundamental particles of cosmological origin to study astrophysical phenomena and vice versa. He is interested in understanding the processes that are occurring within and around some of the most extreme objects in the universe, like supernova remnants, active galactic nuclei, and gamma ray bursts.
He is currently involved in two projects: the IceCube neutrino telescope, and the High Altitude Water Cherenkov (HAWC) gamma ray observatory.
