My research area is on the 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 BoseEinstein 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.

I am currently working on the bound state solutions of Schrodinger, Klein-Gordon, Dirac, Bethe-Salpeter and Duffin Kemmer and Petiau equations. I used the Nkiforov-Uvarov (NU),

Supersymmetric quantum mechanics (SUSYQM), Factorization, asymptotic iteration method (AIM), Path Integrals methods and the recently proposed Nikiforov-Uvarov-Functional Analysis (NUFA) method to study the quantum mechanical systems.
