My background lies mainly in the theory of strongly interacting many-body systems, such as
nuclear matter and liquid helium, the properties of which can not be described
using "standard" perturbation theory and the basis states of the non interacting system.
My main contributions to the field include the first ab initio calculation of the two-point
Green's function in isospin-symmetric nuclear matter, carried out using
a microscopic dynamical model 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 the systematic application of nuclear many-body theory to the study of
the electroweak response of atomic nuclei and nuclear matter [Phys. Rev. C 44 (1991) 2328;
Rev. Mod. Phys. 65 (1993) 817;
Phys. Rev. D 72 (2005) 053005; Rev. Mod. Phys. 80 (2008) 189 ].
