Nuclear Physics

Ordinary matter is made of atoms, where a small dense core, the atomic nucleus, is surrounded by electrons. The nucleus is composed of nucleons (protons and neutrons) that strongly interact through complex nuclear interactions and constitutes one of the most striking quantum many-body systems.

My scientific interests are mainly focused on the study of the atomic nucleus from a theoretical point of view. In particular, I am interested in the development and applications of energy density functional (EDF) methods to understand the intriguing structure and properties of the atomic nuclei.
