About
I work on ab-initio descriptions of nuclear structure, scattering, reactions, and electroweak processes, with a focus on developing Nuclear Lattice EFT (NLEFT) into a high-fidelity framework based on modern chiral EFT interactions.

Research themes
- Ab-initio nuclear scattering and reactions on the lattice: adiabatic projection for nucleon–nucleus and nucleus–nucleus scattering.
- High-fidelity chiral interactions on the lattice: order-consistent forces and operators (up to N3LO in current projects) using wavefunction matching method.
- Hypernuclear systems and dense matter: ab-initio hyper-neutron matter and hyper-nuclear matter using auxiliary field quantum Monte-Carlo.
Selected recent highlights
- Wave function matching for the quantum many-body problem (Nature, 2024).
- The triton lifetime from nuclear lattice effective field theory (Physics Letters B, 2024).
- Ab initio lattice study of neutron–alpha scattering with chiral forces at N3LO (J. Phys. G, 2025).
- Ab-initio alpha-alpha scattering Nature (2015).
