I am interested in the theoretical description of the structure and reaction dynamics of weakly bound light nuclei, using few-body models with special emphasis on continuum effects. My work is focused on low- to intermediate-energy reactions involving three-body nuclei, such as two-neutron halo systems, including processes populating unbound nuclei and reactions of astrophysical interest.
