Research Activities:

My current research in nuclear physics centers around two projects.  One involves the study of nuclear structure through the analysis of complex gamma decay schemes, based on the high-resolution analysis of the gamma spectra and on the determination of the angular correlations of the gamma rays to confirm spin-parity assignments and gamma-ray multipolarities.  For more information about this project, including recent publications and a list of thesis projects, click here


The second area of research involves the determination of neutron capture cross sections using the neutron irradiation facilities in the reactor at the OSU Radiation Center.
