Research interests

Theoretical and computational methods of nuclear physics: my work follows the needs of nuclear astrophysics and nuclear technology, two fields which probe the limits of our understanding of matter in neutron-rich environments.

Nuclear structure and reactions: beta-delayed neutron emission, integration of nuclear shell-model and Hauser-Feshbach reaction theory.

Applications in related fields: the search for dark matter, nuclear data and evaluations, uncertainty quantification, machine learning, high-performance computing.
