Fields of academic interests

Dr B Mukeru

Theoretician: Nuclear and Particle, Computational 

My research focus is on nuclear Physics, where I study the structure and reactions of halo nuclei and loosely bound nuclei in which they are used as projectiles, as well as their application fields like medicine, biology and security. I use techniques like High Performance Computing (HPC) and Linux clusters for theoretical investigation of these systems.
