TUNL faculty member Akaa Daniel Ayangeakaa has been promoted to the rank of Associate Professor with tenure within the Department of Physics and Astronomy at the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill. Professor Ayangeakaa’s research is focused on understanding how nuclear shapes evolve on both the proton- and neutron-rich sides of the nuclear chart, and quantifying the impact of this evolution on nuclear structure properties. His research takes place at the local HIGS facility as well as off-site at Argonne National Laboratory and FRIB.
Congratulations on this accomplishment!
