About Us

We are a research group working on Nuclear STructure, Reactions and APplications (NuSTRAP), stationed at the Department of Physics of the National and Kapodistrian University of Athens, Greece. The group was formed in 2012 and the current group leader is Associate Professor Theo J. Mertzimekis.

Our group has a flowing number of students at all levels of study 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 research proposals to carry out important measurements, studying phenomena of high importance at both fundamental and applied levels.Our research has been funded by either national or international sources and has attracted distinctions at international level.

The NuSTRAP group has a significant publication record, a drive for excellence and a thirst for exploring novel research ideas.
