Research Activities
My research is focussed on the structure of very neutron deficient nuclei at or near the proton drip-line. Using a variety of spectroscopic methods discrete states in these nuclei are identified and assigned. The relative position of these states across a chain of nuclei and, ultimately, the whole nuclear chart will help us develop a better understanding of atomic matter.
