Research Subject

Study of the properties of hot and dense QCD medium using relativistic high energy heavy ion collisions

Current Research

It is believed that the ordinal hadronic medium undergoes the phase transition to Quark-Gluon-Plasma (QGP), which is composed of quarks and gluons, under extreme high temperature and high energy density. This form of matter is considered to have existed in the early Universe after approx. 10 micro-seconds after the Big Bang. My research is to study the properties of this form of matter and the early Universe using relativistic high-energy heavy-ion collisions at BNL (Brookhaven National Laboratory) in USA and CERN (European Organization for Nuclear Research) in Europe.
