Teaching

This semester I'm teaching Physics 116: Mechanics with Calculus .

Research Interests

My research is in nuclear theory and its application to problems of fundamental importance in particle physics and astrophysics. Topics in this interdisciplinary line of research include

• Double beta decay (and the mass of the neutrino)
• Parity and CP violation in nuclei
• Nucleosynthesis in stars and supernovae
• Neutrino scattering and the weak interaction in nuclei

I'm also interested in the foundations of nuclear structure, particularly density-functional theory in heavy nuclei.
