In this dissertation we explore three topics: 1) the extraction of the proton radius from electron scattering data; 2) the reconstruction of neutron distributions in nuclei from parity violating experiments; and 3) the propagation of...
The subject of this doctoral dissertation is to study the equations of state of nuclear and neutron-star matter. We tackle this problem by employing several models of the relativistic effective interactions. The relativistic effective...
This thesis starts with a pedagogical introduction to the study of white dwarfs and neutron stars. We will present a step-by-step study of compact stars in hydrostatic equilibrium leading to the equations of stellar structure. Through...
Protein molecules, sometimes referred to as the molecules of life, are the drivers of virtually every biological function. In this dissertation, we describe a series of computational studies to dissect the mystery of complex protein...
How does subatomic matter organize itself? Neutron stars are cosmic laboratories uniquely poised to answer this fundamental question that lies at the heart of nuclear science. Newly commissioned rare isotope facilities, telescopes...
Modern effective-theory techniques are applied to the many-body nuclear problem and frustrated quantum spin chains. A novel approach is proposed for the renormalization of nucleon-nucleon operators in a manner consistent with the...
