and how they can influence stellar processes. This research is a part of the new Joint Institute of Nuclear Astrophysics frontier center, established to address the fate of nuclei under extreme conditions such as accretion disks of binary neutron star systems or shock fronts of core collapse supernovae.

Dr. Baym has made seminal contributions to many fields, including developing much of the current understanding of the nature of neutron stars, relativistic effects in nuclear physics, condensed matter physics, quantum fluids, and most recently, Bose-Einstein condensates.

From page 250... ...
Dr. Rajagopal enjoys thinking about QCD in extreme conditions because it requires linking usually disparate strands of theo retical physics, including nuclear physics, particle physics, string theory, condensed matter physics, and astrophysics.

From page 251... ...
His particular interests are rare isotope beam experiments and the appli cation of the results to explosive stellar processes and neutron stars.
|
From page 252... ...
He has served on numerous NSF and DOE review panels and NSAC subcommittees, including the 2005 NSAC subcommittee on implementing the 2002 Long Range Plan, which he chaired. He is presently either a member or chair of four program advisory committees for facilities around the world and a member of science advi sory committees for ANL, JLAB, the FRIB, and a new national laboratory in Korea based on the KORIA accelerator facility.
