Alexandros Gezerlis - Edit 1

>>Alexandros Gezerlis: The research we do in my group revolves around starting from very small particles to neutrons and protons and then describing interactions between those and from there building up into systems composed of many particles so nuclei here on earth or neutron stars which are these exotic objects which are 10 kilometers wide and so on. The big picture is how can we connect the very very small to the very large using experimental work other colleagues do here on earth or things we do in our group which is use big computers to describe the systems from first principles. I really enjoy this connection between fundamental science, so learning the answers to questions about what is the world made of, how does nature behave, also how to even know whether we are right or wrong. So, even though it is theoretical work and it's predictions and we use equations and we use big computers, were we right or were we not? If you were wrong, you can go back to the drawing board and do a better job, so this is the main thing that makes it fascinating is that not only can you do this very challenging calculations, which could also compare them to see may be there is more to be done here.
