RESEARCH INTERESTS

Atomic physics (X-ray emission in ion-atom collisions); Stellar structure and evolution;
Thermodynamics of stellar interiors; Solar and stellar oscillations; Long-term variations
of the Sun; Solar neutrino problem (WIMPs); Lithium abundance in open cluster stars;
Helioseismic diagnosis of the equation of state; Theory of reacting hot dense Coulomb
plasmas; Many-body simulations of stellar nuclear fusion.

In 2004, as one of the organizers of a workshop at the Lorentz Center in Leiden (The Netherlands),
I had an excellent opportunity to define the broad range of interdisciplinary topics related
to stellar thermodynamics. An overview of these topics can be obtained from the program
and the scientific report (pages 13-15) of the workshop.
