Nuclear Theory Faculty
International Conference on Nuclear Physics
What happens when matter is so greatly compressed that nuclei overlap to form super-dense nuclear matter, as in a neutron star? What happens when matter is so highly heated that protons and neutrons melt into quarks and gluons, as in the early universe? Both states of matter are now being studied experimentally by colliding large nuclei at RHIC and LHC and in the future at new accelerators located in Germany and Russia. I use quantum field theory at finite temperature and density, relativistic hydrodynamics, and the anti-de Sitter - conformal field theory correspondence arising from D-branes in string theory to study the matter produced in high energy heavy ion collisions, in neutron stars, and in the early universe.
My research aims to answer the following questions: (1) How were the chemical elements produced in the universe? (2) How did the universe get enriched in these elements? (3) How did galaxies form? (4) How did fundamental particles, especially neutrinos, influence the above processes
Computational Simulations: Nuclear Theory Faculty often employ computational methods to perform simulations and numerical calculations that help them explore the behavior of nuclear systems under different conditions.
Publications: They publish their research findings in scientific journals and present their work at conferences, contributing to the advancement of nuclear physics knowledge.
Teaching and Mentoring: In academic settings, Nuclear Theory Faculty may teach undergraduate and graduate-level courses in theoretical physics, mentor students, and supervise graduate research projects.
Collaboration: They collaborate with experimental physicists, other theoretical physicists, and researchers from various disciplines to advance interdisciplinary studies and to gain a broader perspective on nuclear physics and related areas.
Proposal Writing: Nuclear Theory Faculty may write proposals to secure funding for their research projects from government agencies, research foundations, or other funding bodies.
