Fields of academic interests
Theoretician: Nuclear and Particle, Computational
My current research focus on theoretical studies of properties of exotic nuclei and ultra-cold gasses. I treat these systems as quantum mechanical many-body. I probe structural and reaction properties of as well as interaction models in halonuclei, hypernuclei and Bose-Einstein condensation. I use the integrodifferential equations approach to generate wave functions for these systems. Naturally, part of my research involves determining efficient numerical solution methods to few-body integrodifferential equation to for better prediction.
