Professor Howell’s research area is experimental nuclear physics with an emphasis on quantum chromodynamics (QCD). He focuses on low-energy nuclear phenomena, the structure and properties of nucleons and nuclei, and reaction dynamics in few-nucleon systems. His work involves studying the macroscopic properties of nucleon structure and the residual strong nuclear force holding neutrons and protons together in nuclei, which emerges from QCD at different distances. Howell is currently the Director of the Triangle Universities Nuclear Laboratory and has published extensively in his field, contributing to a deeper understanding of nuclear reactions and fission product yields, as well as the analysis of photonuclear reactions.
