My Research Activities
Dr. Fraser's research investigates low-energy scattering processes of light nuclei, with an emphasis on reactions of astrophysical interest. This principally involves a novel approach to solving coupled-channel Lippmann-Schwinger equations utilising realistic nuclear input potentials, with a proper consideration of the Pauli-principle when including nuclear excitations.
He has a project investigating the effects of home jurisdiction, COVID, and the implementation of the Australian National Curriculum on Australian high school students' physics and mathematics educational outcomes.
