My research interests include predominantly topics in nuclear and particle astrophysics:

          - cosmic rays (Galactic and structure formation cosmic rays)

          - gamma rays

          - deuterium and LiBeB (particularly lithium) evolution

          - Big Bang nucleosynthesis      

Everything is connected. Thus the main approach that I take in my research is exploiting and establishing connections between different topics, and exploring their implications.
