Biography
Dr. Bassichis's research interests include nuclear theory with an emphasis on many-body theory and the prediction of the properties of nuclei in terms of constituent interactions, nucleus-nucleus scattering theory, solar energy studies using flat plate collectors, and the advantages of a vacuum environment. Professor Bassichis has been a member of the Texas A&M physics faculty since 1970. He was previously on the faculty at MIT and served as a staff scientist at Weizman Institute, Centre d'Etudes Nucléaires, Saclay, and at the Lawrence Livermore Laboratory.
