Next-generation neutrino oscillation experiments such as HyperK and DUNE aim to achieve precise measurements of fundamental neutrino properties. Their success hinges on minimizing systematic errors, with the dominant uncertainty currently arising from the modeling of neutrino-nucleus interactions. 

In my talk I will present recent advancements of nuclear structure calculations using state-of-the-art ab initio nuclear theory, extending these methods to new applications and higher energy regions relevant to electroweak interactions in neutrino oscillation experiments. 

I will also discuss how the developed theoretical framework can be used to address other electroweak processes at the Precision Frontier and in astrophysical environments.
