Research Interests:

Low-energy Nuclear Physics, in particular reactions induced by proton, deuteron, and alpha-particle beams; few-nucleon problems, phase shift analyses; the nuclear optical potential. Intermediate energy Physics, the nucleon-nucleon interaction, interactions of protons and pions with very-light nuclei; the nuclear optical potential; fundamental symmetries: charge symmetry breaking and parity violation; strangeness and hadronic matter; rare decays; parity violating electron scattering and the strangeness content of the nucleon; high-energy spin physics; tests of the Standard Model.
