My research is primarily in nuclear theory, in particular heavy ion reaction theory. My research office in in the National Superconducting Cyclotron Laboratory on the Campus of Michigan State University. Over the last few yeear I have also developed interests in energy and the environment, as well as cyber-enabled research. My new office as director of iCER will be located in Anthony Hall, once construction is completed.
