My background lies mainly in the field of strongly interacting many-body systems, primarily
atomic nuclei and nuclear matter, the properties of which cannot be described
using "standard" perturbation theory and the basis states of the non-interacting system.
My main contributions include: (i) the first ab initio calculation of the
nucleon Green's function in isospin-symmetric matter, carried out using
a realistic nuclear Hamiltonian and the formalism of correlated basis function perturbation
theory [Nucl. Phys. A 505 (1989) 207; Phys. Rev. C 41 (1990) R24
; Nucl. Phys. A 550 (1992) 201; Nucl. Phys. A 579
(1994) 493]; and (ii) the development of a comprehensive framework for the description of
the electroweak response of nuclei and nuclear matter based on nuclear many-body-theory.
