: Kevin Fossez is the recipient of a 2023 Faculty Early Career Award from the National Science Foundation. His work in exotic nuclei is key in understanding the ways in which subatomic matter organizes itself. This can be applied to the study of astrophysical objects such as supernovae and neutron stars.
Fossez’s work examines specific theories on the composition and variations in stability of atomic nuclei that make up the matter of the world around us. “The question is: which combinations of protons and neutrons gives you a nucleus that does not break apart? That’s what my work aims to investigate so we can better understand the universe’s total molecular design,” says Fossez.
