Personal profile
Biography
My research spans multiple areas of experimental nuclear reaction dynamics, broadly focusing on non-equilibrium processes occurring prior to (and competing with) fusion. This includes reactions of stable and radioactive weakly-bound and halo nuclei, quasifission dynamics, and energy dissipation in heavy-ion fusion.
