Research Interest:

Development of radiation transport models (both 1-dimensional deterministic and 3-dimensional Monte Carlo models); biomedical applications of radiation transport models; theoretical study of nuclear fragmentation of heavy ions; space radiation physics for protection of astronauts and electronic equipments in space; development and application of Monte Carlo transport models for relativistic heavy ion collisions.
