Abstract : Understanding the birth, the life, and the death of stars is a fundamental and challenging problem in Astrophysics that cuts
across a variety of disciplines. In this talk I will focus on the essential role that Nuclear Physics plays in understanding: (a) energy
generation in stars, (b) the synthesis of the chemical elements within, and (c) one of the most cataclysmic events in the Universe:
a Supernova explosion.

Prof. J. Piekarewicz got his Ph.D. at University of Pennsylvania in 1985 and now is a full professor of Florida state University.
He has worked in many physics domains: Neutron Stars, Relativistic Models of Nuclear Structure, Monte Carlo Simulations of
Quark Matter, Molecular Dynamics Simulations of Non-Uniform Matter, Theoretical Condensed-Matter Physics, Quantum
Spin Systems, etc. As a author of more than 100 publications, he is also a reviewer of Phys. Rev. Lett. and of almost all famous
Journals of nuclear physics. He is a good organizer for many workshops and conferences including the nuclear physics town meeting.
Prof. J. Piekarewicz is ardent in cultivating young scientists. Besides the Ph.D student supervisions, he is also a member of the physics
Ph.D. supervisory committees, providing the supervisory activities for 80 Ph.D. students in the past. Moreover, he has given successful
research supervisions to many undergraduate students and middle-school students.
