Research interests

• Theoretical Nuclear, Atomic and Molecular Physics
• Computational Physics
• Inverse Scattering
• Few-Body Physics

My main research foci are

1. Theoretical study of the properties of few-particle systems. This include studies of structure of and reactions involving these systems at Particle, Nuclear, Atomic and Molecular level. We employ the Faddeev and Faddeev-Yakubovsky formalisms for rigorous benchmark calculations using High Performance computing.
2. Inverse scattering theory and its applications in few-body physics.
3. Applications of few-body methods to study exotic systems such as hypernuclei and superheavy elements.
4. Computational Physics, where we develop efficient numerical methods to solve the aforementioned systems.
