Cartoon of LHC collisions

I study strongly interacting matter at extreme temperatures and energy densities, with emphasis on collective flow, correlations, and theory-experiment integration through modern statistical tools.

Research Focus

Research Focus

My work is closely related to experiments at RHIC and the LHC, studying strongly interacting matter at high temperatures and extreme energy densities, particularly the Quark Gluon Plasma (QGP).

Center of Excellence in Quark Matter: research group

  • Flow physics and correlations in heavy-ion collisions
  • Bayesian analysis in heavy-ion physics
  • Machine learning applications in physics

Selected highlights

  • Leading the Finnish participation in ALICE at CERN
  • Pioneer in flow measurements and Bayesian analysis
  • Comprehensive collective flow analysis development
  • Small-system studies for onset of collectivity
  • Theory-experiment integration through Bayesian analysis
Project: Daily HEP & Heavy-Ion Research Updates

Automated daily arXiv/news aggregation for QGP, heavy-ion collisions, flow, jet quenching, hydrodynamics, Bayesian analysis, and kinetic theory.
