In summary, a retired nuclear astrophysicist's research interests may vary, but they often focus on the study of nuclear reactions, stellar evolution, and the formation of elements in stars. They may also be interested in the effects of nuclear processes on the evolution of galaxies and the universe as a whole. Additionally, retired nuclear astrophysicists may also pursue research on the use of nuclear technology in space exploration and energy production. Overall, their research interests center around understanding the fundamental processes of the universe through the lens of nuclear physics.

I was a nuclear astrophysicist in my academic instar, an instrument project scientist on an early Shuttle mission, and retired from an Air Force FFRDC a few years ago. My research interests range from neutrino physics in the early universe to differential game theory.
