Research Areas

Research Interests

My research interests lie in experimental and theoretical nuclear structure physics, with emphasis on collective and single-particle phenomena in medium- and heavy-mass nuclei. I investigate rotational and vibrational excitations, wobbling motion, magnetic and antimagnetic rotation, shape coexistence, octupole correlations, and nuclear isomerism using in-beam γ-ray spectroscopy, lifetime and decay measurements. My work integrates experimental observations with microscopic and semi-microscopic models, including particle-rotor approaches, shell-model-based calculations, triaxial projected shell model, and total Routhian surface analyses.
