J. Piekarewicz studies nuclear physics with a focus on how the properties of atomic nuclei connect to the physics of neutron stars, the ultra-dense remnants of collapsed stars. This work links laboratory experiments (such as electron scattering that measures the distribution of neutrons in a nucleus) to astronomical observations like gravitational waves from merging neutron stars. A recurring theme is building and calibrating theoretical models (energy density functionals) and quantifying their uncertainties using statistical methods.
