Bio
I am a Research Assistant Professor at Texas A&M University. My research is focused on ab initio calculations of nuclei. Starting from two- (NN) and three-nucleon (3N) forces derived within the chiral effective field theory, along with consistent electroweak currents, I primarily use in-medium similarity renormalization group (IMSRG), coupled cluster (CC) and many-body perturbation theory (MBPT) to solve the many-body Schrödinger equation.
Interests
My research interests cover ab initio calculations of nuclear structure and reactions, as well as related topics such as dark matter, neutrino physics, fundamental symmetries and nuclear astrophysics.
My work aims to extend the reach of ab initio studies in two directions: 1. pushing ab initio calculation into heavier mass regions, and 2. obtaining first-principles predictions (with quantified uncertainties) of quantities that cannot be evaluated experimentally, even they reside in the heavy-mass region. These quantities are relevant to astrophysics and searches for physics beyond the Standard Model.
