About the Authors
Nicolas Michel is a Chief Scientist in Nuclear Physics
at the Institute of Modern Physics in Lanzhou, China.
He obtained his MSc at the University of Strasbourg
(France) and PhD at the University of Caen Normandy
(France). He worked in several nuclear research centers,
including the GANIL in Caen, Michigan State University, Oak Ridge National Laboratory, Kyoto University
and CEA, Center of Saclay. He was awarded a Standard
Fellowship for Foreign Researchers by the Japanese
Society for the Promotion of Science. He is the author of
1 monograph and over 65 scientific papers. His research
focuses on the study of resonant nuclei and molecules
using the continuum shell model formalism. He also
developed parallel codes to efficiently calculate manybody weakly bound and unbound nuclear states.
Marek Płoszajczak is a Director of Research at the
French Atomic Energy Commission, currently working at the GANIL SPIRAL2 accelerator center, Caen
(France). He obtained his MSc at the Jagiellonian University in Kraków (Poland) and PhD at the Rhenish
Friedrich-Wilhelm University Bonn (Germany). He has
held several research positions, including at the Niels
Bohr Institute in Copenhagen, SUNY Stony Brook,
CRN Strasbourg, and GSI Darmstadt. In 1990, he
became Professor of Theoretical Physics at the Institute
of Nuclear Physics in Kraków (Poland). He is a Fellow
of the American Physical Society. He was a co-Director
of the French-U.S. Theory Institute for Physics with
Exotic Nuclei at GANIL, Caen, and co-organizer of
the Training in Advanced Low Energy Nuclear Theory
initiative. He authored/edited 3 books, is the author
of 7 monographs, and over 200 scientific papers. His
research interests focuses on open quantum system
