About Lami Suleiman

I am a nuclear astrophysicist studying the behavior of dense matter with multi-messenger observations of neutron stars. I use theory, simulations and data analysis to uncover the nature of strong interaction in thermodynamic conditions that cannot be reached in nuclear physics laboratory or with nuclear theory. My research is at the crossroad of astrophysics, nuclear physics and gravitation physics.

My recent work focused on:

Layers of electron captures in accreting neutron star's crust: I studied how the inclusion of finite reaction rates informed by nuclear laboratory measurements can affect deep crustal heating in the crust of neutron stars subject to compression phenomena here.

Semi-agnostic equation of state generators: with french colleagues, I built the numerical application Crust Unified Tool for Equation of state Reconstruction here.

I am a member of the LIGO/Virgo/KAGRA, active in the Extreme Matter group, and simulate gravitational wave emission by coalescing compact object binaries.
