Welcome to my homepage! Here, you can explore my research in high-energy physics, with a focus on Quark Gluon Plasma.
🔬 Research Overview
My work is closely related to experiments at the Brookhaven Heavy-ion facility (RHIC) and the Large Hadron Collider (LHC) at CERN. I study the physics of strongly interacting matter at high temperatures and extreme energy densities, particularly the Quark Gluon Plasma (QGP).
