معرفی
Mark Caprio is a Professor of Physics and Astronomy at the University of Notre Dame, affiliated with the College of Science. His research focuses on nuclear structure theory, particularly ab initio computational methods and quantum many-body systems. He holds a B.S. from Oglethorpe University and a Ph.D. from Yale University. Caprio has received notable awards, including the Cottrell Scholar Award (2010) and teaching excellence recognitions. He has supervised numerous doctoral and undergraduate students, contributing to advancements in nuclear theory and computational physics.
Education: B.S. Physics & Mathematics (Oglethorpe University, 1994); M.S., M.Phil., Ph.D. (Yale University, 1999-2003).
Research Interests: Nuclear collective structure, phase transitions in quantum many-body systems, and symmetry-based approaches. His work bridges microscopic ab initio methods with macroscopic models like the interacting boson model.
Publications: Over 100 peer-reviewed articles, including studies on nuclear electric quadrupole observables, symmetry emergence in ab initio frameworks, and rotational band dynamics. Recent work explores tidal waves in nuclei and symplectic no-core configuration interaction methods.
Awards: Burns Award (2023), Shilts/Leonard Teaching Award (2017), and APS Outstanding Referee (2022).
Professional Contributions: Editor of European Physical Journal A, conference organizer, and contributor to national training programs. Active in computational physics education and outreach.
