Research
I am fascinated by the far-from-equilibrium dynamics and thermalization processes of strongly correlated systems. My primary research interest is in studying the hot, dense nuclear matter–quark-gluon plasma–produced in high-energy particle colliders such as the Large Hadron Collider (LHC) at CERN and the Relativistic Heavy Ion Collider (RHIC) at BNL. I have also worked on problems relevant for high-energy particle physics and neutron star physics. Recently, I have become interested in the remarkable similarities between non-equilibrium physics in nuclear collisions and cold-atom experiments. Therefore, I am actively collaborating with cold-atom experts to explore interdisciplinary connections between these two fields, which lie at opposite ends of the energy scale.
Below you can find more information about the research projects at my group.
