Education

  • 2023.10 - 2026.10

    Caen, France

    Doctoral Degree
    GANIL, University of Caen-Normandie
    Experimental Nuclear Physics
    • My research focuses on in-beam high resolution gamma-ray spectroscopy to study fast neutron-induced reaction mechanisms and nuclear structures. The results have the potential to improve nuclear data, neutron-induced reaction cross sections, supporting reactor safety, neutron flux monitoring, and isotope production. I also evaluate the performance of germanium detectors at high neutron fluxes, providing insight into neutron damage and salvage strategies.
