L3 Intern at IJClab
Raphcalvez@outlook.com 

While she did her internship in the group (Beginning June- mid July 2025), she worked on calibrating an optical potential for 12C-7Li, relevant for  alpha transfer reaction relevant for astrophysics.

Master 1 Intern at IJClab
elouan.boucheron@gmail.com 

While he did his internship in the group (mid May- mid July 2025), he worked on alpha transfer reaction relevant for astrophysics.

Undergraduate student
chouch11@msu.edu 

While he was an undergraduate student in the group (fall semester 2024-spring semester 2025) , he worked on radiative capture reaction relevant for astrophysics.

FRIB theory fellow at Los Alamos National Lab
hlophe@lanl.gov

While he was the Gregers Hansen postdoctoral fellow at MSU (2017-2020) he implemented a Faddeev framework with our Ohio University collaborators. 

Graduate Student at WashU

kingg@wustl.edu

As an undergraduate at MSU (graduated in 2019), he worked on several uncertainty quantification projects with our group, including using principal component analysis and sensitivities to provide insight into the optical model. He continues to collaborate with our group.

Staff physicist at Los Alamos National Laboratory

lovell@lanl.gov 

While she was a graduate student at MSU (PhD 2018) she worked on two-neutron decay of 16Be and uncertainty quantification in nuclear reactions. This second opened a new path for the group. Although her work at LANL focuses on fission, she continues to be very much engaged in our UQ reaction studies. 

Staff physicist at Lawrence Livermore National Laboratory

potelaguilar1@llnl.gov 

While he was a postdoctoral fellow at MSU 2013-2016, he implemented the reaction theory for compound transfer (d,pg) and connected it to neutron capture. He then became an FRIB theory fellow and incorporated ab-initio optical potentials in the formalism. He continues to collaborate with the group on a charge-exchange project. 

Staff at NNSA DC Headquarters

terri.poxon-pearson@nnsa.doe.gov 

While she was a graduate student at MSU (PhD 2020) her main project focused on charge-exchange reactions. Terri also did a lot of work on interpreting transfer reactions for astrophysics (see Annual Reviews).

Actuarial Analyst

Worked on the Faddeev framework and studied the properties of the separable optical potential (see details in PRC 102, 024606).

Graduate Student at OSU

While an undergrad at MSU (graduated in 2021), he worked on the Faddeev framework, benchmarking different implementations.

Private Sector

While a postdoc in the group (2021-2022) he worked on the optical potential for reactions, by combining charge-exchange and elastic data in a Bayesian framework.
