About. |
Our group carries out rare isotope beam experiments that restage nuclear processes in extreme astrophysical environments such as X-ray bursts, Nova explosions, Supernovae, or deep inside Neutron Stars. The goal is to understand the origin of the elements and find out what observations can tell us about matter in extreme astrophysical sites. We use a variety of experimental devices at NSCL and are currently building the SECAR recoil separator. Our group combines experimental work with astrophysical simulations to guide experiments and to interpret results.
We are closely integrated into the Joint Institute for Nuclear Astrophysics Center for the Evolution of the Elements (JINA-CEE) and the international IReNA. networks that offer unique opportunities for young scientists to network across subfields with experimentalists at other laboratories around the world, nuclear theorists, computational astrophysicists, and astronomical observers. Opportunities include attendance of international workshops, conferences, and interdisciplinary schools; career development activities; research stays at other institutions around the world; organization the annual collaboration meeting; networking with leading scientists codes; access to data, equipment, and codes; and much more.

Interested in joining as graduate student?
We are committed to provide an inclusive, equitable, and supportive environment where every student and postdoc can be successful. Success is defined as achieving individual long term career goals, be it in academia, education, medicine, industry, or other sectors. We follow and enforce the FRIB code of conduct and JINA-CEE code of conduct.
- Apply to the graduate program at the MSU Department of Physics and Astronomy - choose EXPERIMENTAL nuclear physics as your interest, even if you are interested in theory or combined theory/experiment in our group.
- Contact us by sending a short e-mail - either Hendrik Schatz or Fernando Montes. We are happy to answer any questions, either by e-mail, or by setting up a Zoom call. We can also arrange contact with current graduate students.
