The intersection of nuclear structure and nuclear scattering
This project explores nuclear scattering using shell-model-derived potentials to better understand complex nuclear interactions. Students will enhance coding skills, deepen quantum mechanics knowledge, and apply high-performance computing to study processes relevant to nuclear astrophysics and nucleosynthesis, shedding light on the origins of the chemical elements.
Impact of nuclear structure on dark matter direct detection
Quantum many-body modelling of the atomic nucleus will help us understand how dark matter particles interact with atomic nuclei, as well as how many scattering events we can expect in underground laboratory search for dark matter.

Foundations of quantum tunnelling
The project is to improve our understanding and description of quantum tunnelling of interacting particles using tools from quantum field theory, quantum many-body systems, and quantum information.
