Strategic Focus
We aim to promote the improvement of research activities in the context of the nuclear physics–computational physics interface, carried out at the Institute of Physics.
We aim to support a doctoral and master’s degree-level program in the Universidad de Antioquia Institute of Physics.
We aim to consolidate an alliance with a hospital or university-based nuclear medicine group, to promote nuclear medicine education and research.
We are willing to generate the appropriate conditions for creating a nuclear physics laboratory for research and education purposes.
Research Areas and Topics
- Research on the nuclear structure of medium-sized nuclei (computational and symmetry-based algebraic methods).
- Processing and optimization of GPU computing programs by using OpenACC.
- Radon pollution quantity measurement in Medellin and other parts of Colombia.
- Dosimetry calculation using the Montecarlo technique.
