I am a theoretical nuclear physicist exploring the forms of matter under extreme conditions: extremely hot, extremely dense, and extremely strongly interacting nuclear matter.
My research focuses on the theory of strong interaction (known as Quantum Chromo-Dynamics or QCD) and the phenomenology of high energy nuclear collisions. We study the structures and properties of matter under extreme conditions—the hottest, the densest, as well as the most strongly interacting matter. These studies cover a wide range of topics in nuclear physics, particle physics, as well as many-body physics.
We investigate the unusual properties of such extreme form of matter and explain highly novel quantum phenomena that emerge in this material. In doing so, we deepen our understanding of the basic theory of the nuclear force, namely the Quantum Chromodynamics (QCD).
