I will discuss some of the topics that we are researching and that we are currently interested in in Warsaw. All of them will be related to the physics of superheavy nuclei, where the central goal is to predict the possibility of synthesizing new elements. I'll briefly discuss

- Selected Properties of heaviest nuclei

- Competing Minima & Exotic Nuclear Configurations

- Searching for Extra Stable Systems in SHN

- Nuclear Level Densities

- Reaction Mechanism

- X-sections predictions

Biography

Prof. Michał Kowal is a theoretical physicist. His scientific interests include the prediction of cross-sections (synthesis probabilities) for existing and planned super-heavy nuclei, as well as stability analysis, including the calculation of lifetimes for the heaviest nuclei. He obtained his Master’s degree and Ph.D. in Physics from Maria Curie-Sklodowska University in 1999 and 2004, respectively. He is currently an associate professor and the head of the Department of Theoretical Physics at the National Centre for Nuclear Research, Poland.
