Patrick Millican works in experimental nuclear physics, focusing on measuring nuclear reactions (such as proton and gamma-ray capture) that are important for understanding how heavy elements form in stars, particularly through the astrophysical 'p-process' and 'gamma-process'. Much of the work involves using specialized detector systems, like the HECTOR total absorption spectrometer, to measure reaction rates in specific mass regions of the periodic table (around mass numbers 100-110).
Publication output was concentrated between 2018 and 2021, with a notable peak in 2020, followed by a gap and then a small resurgence in 2024-2025, suggesting an irregular rather than steady publication pattern.
