Cosmic alchemy: uniting insight from lab, lens, and logic
LECM @ TAMU
Invited presentation on 08/2025
Nuclear astrophysics is an inherently interdisciplinary field, uniting experiment, observation, and theory to tackle fundamental questions such as the origin of the elements. In this talk, I will offer a forward-looking perspective on the deepening synergy among these components, with a focus on the formation of the heaviest elements. I will also outline a set of high-impact collaborative priorities that can drive meaningful progress in the coming decade.
