Research interests

I work on 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.
