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 three organizers of a topical workshop at the
Lorentz Center (The Netherlands),
I had an excellent opportunity to define a broad range of interdisciplinary topics related to stellar
thermodynamics. The proceedings of the workshop were published by the American Institute of Physics (731).
