Remi Bernard

Dr. Remi Bernard is a Departmental Visitor in the Nuclear Physics & Accelerator Applications department at the Australian National University (ANU), working with the Subatomic physics research group. His research focuses on theoretical nuclear physics, particularly in the areas of nuclear fission theory and computational modeling of nuclear processes.

Dr. Bernard's research interests include:

• Nuclear fission theory and dynamics
• Quantum shell effects in heavy element fission
• Potential energy surfaces and their numerical treatment
• Nucleon-nucleus scattering
• Computational methods for nuclear physics
• Heavy element synthesis and stability

His recent publications demonstrate a strong focus on advancing our understanding of nuclear fission processes, particularly in heavy and superheavy elements. Dr. Bernard has contributed to the development of computational tools like the SIDES code for nucleon-nucleus scattering and has conducted systematic studies of mass-asymmetric fission across a range of heavy nuclei. His work bridges theoretical nuclear physics with computational approaches to solve complex problems in nuclear structure and reactions, with publications spanning from 2020 to 2023 showing active research contributions.

Dr. Bernard actively collaborates with researchers at ANU and internationally, as evidenced by his co-authorship on multiple publications with scientists from various institutions. His work connects fundamental nuclear theory with practical applications in nuclear energy and heavy element research.
