>>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.
