Saori Pastore

Saori Pastore is an assistant professor at Washington University in St Louis. She obtained her PhD in theoretical nuclear physics from Old Dominion University in 2010. Prior to joining WashU in the fall of 2018 with an FRIB Theory Alliance bridge faculty position, she was a postdoctoral fellow at Los Alamos National Laboratory. Since 2020 and from 2017 to 2019, she has been an elected member-at-large of the APS Few-Body Systems Topical Group executive committee. From 2020 to 2022, she was a co-convener of the Snowmass topical group ‘Theory of neutrino physics’, and since 2021 she is a member of the INT National Advisory Committee. Her research focuses on nuclear electroweak structure and reactions using chiral effective field theories and Quantum Monte Carlo computational methods.
