Frontiers in the physics of nuclei — •Achim Schwenk — TRIUMF, 4004 Wesbrook Mall, Vancouver, BC, V6T 2A3, Canada

Nuclear physics has entered an exciting era, in which substantial progress can be expected on fundamental problems. This is due to advances on many fronts, including the development of effective field theory and the renormalization group in nuclear physics, the advances in ab-initio methods for nuclear structure, the effort to develop a universal density functional based on microscopic nuclear interactions, and the application of large-scale computing resources. I will discuss the current frontiers in understanding and predicting the structure of strongly-interacting matter in laboratory nuclei and in the cosmos.
