Research interests
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.
