The NuSTRAP group (Nuclear Structure, Reactions &
Applications) was formed in 2012, shortly after Theo Mertzimekis
took over his duties as a newly appointed Assistant Professor in
the Department of Nuclear and Particle Physics at the University
of Athens.
The group has a flowing number of students at all levels
performing cutting-edge research in the wide area of Nuclear
Physics and Applications of radiation (ions and photons). Since
2012, NuSTRAP members have led or participated in several
peer-reviewed proposals to carry out important measurements,
studying phenomena of high importance at both fundamental and
applied levels. In the meantime, a significant effort was
invested in resurrecting existing equipment to expand the range
of investigations.
In addition, outreach and educational activities are at the core
of the group's activities, providing freshly-acquired knowledge
to extra-academic audiences and the general public.
The NuSTRAP group has a significant publication record, drive
for excellence and thirst in exploring novel research ideas.
