Piarulli was selected for her research program, “From Atomic Nuclei to Infinite Nucleonic Matter within Chiral Dynamics,” which falls under the Office of Science’s Nuclear Physics program office. The award is meant to support individual research programs of outstanding scientists early in their careers.
“My research aims to develop a clear and coherent picture in which microscopic models
accurately describe atomic nuclei while simultaneously predicting properties of infinite matter,” Piarulli said. “It will make use of state-of-the-art computational techniques and high-performance computing to broaden the applicability of the Quantum Monte Carlo methods.”
