In recent papers he was focusing on the following fields of study:

Erik Schnetter mainly focuses on Astrophysics, Neutrino, Binary black hole, Applied mathematics and Supernova. His Neutron star and Kilonova study are his primary interests in Astrophysics. He combines subjects such as Magnetar and Magnetohydrodynamics, Magnetorotational instability with his study of Neutrino.

The study of Gravitational wave and Black hole are components of his Binary black hole research. His Gravitational wave research focuses on Physical quantity and how it relates to Theoretical physics, Angular momentum, Spacetime, Disjoint sets and Sequence. The Supernova study combines topics in areas such as Accretion, Convection, Instability and Shock.

Between 2016 and 2021, his most popular works were:

The Progenitor Dependence of Three-Dimensional Core-Collapse Supernovae (86 citations)
The Progenitor Dependence of Core-collapse Supernovae from Three-dimensional Simulations with Progenitor Models of 12–40 M ⊙ (84 citations)
