Core-collapse supernovae (CCSNe) are among the most energetic stellar explosions in the universe and are the birthplaces of neutron stars and stellar-mass black holes. As ideal multi-messenger sources, CCSNe are expected to be detected through electromagnetic radiation, neutrinos, and gravitational waves. In this talk, I will present the latest results from our multi-dimensional supernova simulations with self-consistent neutrino transport and effective general relativity. I will discuss how the nuclear equation of state, progenitor structure, rotation, and magnetic fields shape the explosion dynamics, and how these physical ingredients leave distinct imprints on the resulting neutrino and gravitational wave signals, including cases where the stellar core collapses to a black hole.
