Alex Gezerlis

Alex Gezerlis is a Professor in the Department of Physics at the University of Guelph, focusing on nuclear theory and astrophysics. He emphasizes the collaborative environment at Guelph, where students and faculty interact freely.

• Education: PhD from Los Alamos/University of Illinois; studied at National Technical University of Athens.
• Research Areas: Nuclear forces, structure, astrophysics (neutron stars), and cold atom physics.
• Publications: Recent work includes conformal prediction in nuclear scattering, neural networks for light nuclei, and Monte Carlo methods in neutron matter simulations.

His research bridges fundamental nuclear interactions to astrophysical phenomena, utilizing both phenomenological and first-principles computational approaches. He mentors a dynamic group of 5-6 graduate and 1-2 undergraduate students annually, focusing on programming, supercomputing, and theoretical analysis.
