معرفی
Dr. Nirupama Sensharma is a Postdoctoral Researcher at Argonne National Laboratory specializing in experimental low-energy nuclear physics with expertise in gamma-ray spectroscopy techniques. Her research focuses on exotic nuclear phenomena including wobbling motion and chirality in triaxial nuclei such as 135Pr and 187Au.
Her academic credentials include:
- Ph.D. in Physics (2021) from the University of Notre Dame, USA
- M.S. in Physics (2018) from the University of Notre Dame, USA
- M.Tech. in Nuclear Science and Technology (2015) from the University of Delhi, India
- B.Sc. Physics (Honors) (2012) from the University of Delhi, India
Dr. Sensharma's research centers on nuclear structure physics, particularly investigating wobbling modes and chiral symmetry breaking in triaxial nuclei using advanced gamma-ray detection systems. Her work aims to identify new regions of the nuclear chart exhibiting these rare phenomena, contributing to fundamental understanding of nuclear rotation and collective behavior through precision spectroscopy of high-spin states.
Her 2019-2022 publications reveal consistent focus on wobbling excitations across multiple nuclides (135Pr, 187Au), with recent expansion into single-particle and collective excitations in 62Co and 66Zn. These studies published in Physical Review C/Letters demonstrate methodological progression from theoretical frameworks to experimental validation using state-of-the-art detector arrays, establishing her expertise in both computational modeling and hands-on nuclear spectroscopy.
