Christian Drischler

Assistant Professor of Physics and FRIB-TA Bridge Faculty

Hello there!

My name is Christian Drischler. I’m an Assistant Professor of Physics and FRIB Bridge Faculty at the Institute of Nuclear and Particle Physics (INPP) at Ohio University. I’m also an elected member of the FRIB Theory Alliance Executive Board.

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
  • 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:

Previous members:

  • Joshua Maldonado (grad student, M.S. thesis 2024, summer 2023 through summer 2024, STREAMLINE collaboration)
  • Unish Gautam (grad student, summer 2024)
