Hello there!
My name is Christian Drischler. I’m working at the Institute of Nuclear and Particle Physics (INPP) at Ohio University, where I’m
- an Assistant Professor of Physics,
- FRIB Theory Alliance Bridge Faculty,
- elected member of the FRIB Theory Alliance Executive Board, and
- the faculty advisor of the graduate student organization PandA GradS.
My research is at the intersection of theoretical nuclear physics and nuclear astrophysics. I’m using microscopic methods to shed light on strongly interacting, dense matter in the universe.
My current research interests include:
- Neutron stars and equation of state of neutron-rich matter
- Chiral effective field theory
- Many-body perturbation theory
- Bayesian methods for uncertainty quantification
- Emulators for nuclear physics and model (order) reduction
- Computational physics
I’m collaborating with:
- NSF-funded Physics Frontier Center Network for Neutrinos, Nuclear Astrophysics, and Symmetries (N3AS)
- Bayesian Uncertainty Quantification: Errors in Your EFT (BUQEYE) collaboration,
- NSF-funded Bayesian Analysis of Nuclear Dynamics (BAND) Framework, and
- DOE-funded SmarT Reduction and Emulation Applying Machine Learning In Nuclear Environment (STREAMLINE) collaboration.
Don’t hesitate to contact me if you are interested in a Research Fellowship of the Alexander von Humboldt Foundation (such as the Feodor Lynen Research Fellowship) hosted by me at Ohio University.
Research group at Ohio University
My current research group consists of:
- Yoon Gyu Lee (grad student)
- Abhinav Giri (grad student, STREAMLINE collaboration)
Past group members:
- Jane Kim (postdoc, 2024-2025, now at Argonne National Laboratory)
- Joshua Maldonado (grad student, M.S. thesis 2024, summer 2023 through summer 2024, STREAMLINE collaboration)
- Unish Gautam (grad student, summer 2024)
- Grace Eichler (undergrad HTC student, thesis 2025, summer 2024 through spring 2025)
