Nominator's project description
| Professor Qian is a world-leading theorist in the field of nuclear astrophysics. He has made seminal contributions to heavy element nucleosynthesis in supernovae and played a critical role in shaping the consensus that diverse sources are required for nucleosynthesis via rapid neutron capture. In Germany, Professor Qian will explore how collective neutrino oscillations impact supernova dynamics and nucleosynthesis. |
