Dr. Lai will conduct a theoretical investigation the physics of neutron stars, which are the highly dense evolutionary endpoints of massive stars. The research will investigate the physical and astrophysical processes occurring at or near highly magnetized neutron stars and magnetars. The major goal of the project is to understand the various observational manifestations of magnetized neutron stars and use this understanding to study physics under extreme conditions.This project is expected to characterize the various types of neutron stars and the most important physical processes in each type, and will providing tools to interpret current and future observations. The research is multidisciplinary in nature, involving astrophysics, atomic physics, plasma physics and nuclear physics, and thus is of interest to the wider scientific community. Results from this research will be incorporated into the Cornell University curriculum, and the project will provide research opportunities for undergraduate and graduate students.

黎博士将对中子星的物理学进行理论研究，中子星是大质量恒星的高密度演化终点。 该研究将调查发生在高磁化中子星和磁星或其附近的物理和天体物理过程。 该项目的主要目标是了解磁化中子星的各种观测表现，并利用这一认识研究极端条件下的物理学，该项目预计将描述各种类型的中子星及其最重要的物理过程，并将提供解释当前和未来观测的工具。这项研究是多学科性质的，涉及天体物理学、原子物理学、等离子体物理学和核物理学，因此引起了更广泛的科学界的兴趣。这项研究的结果将纳入康奈尔大学的课程，该项目将为本科生和研究生提供研究机会。
