Research summary
AI-generated

This researcher works in theoretical nuclear physics, focusing on how to make reliable predictions from effective theories of nuclear forces (chiral effective field theory) and on quantifying the uncertainties in those predictions using statistical (Bayesian) methods. A major thread of the work involves building fast computational approximations ('emulators') that let researchers efficiently explore nuclear models and their errors, with applications to things like neutron star properties and few-body nuclear systems.
