Biography
My research focuses on the study of the dynamical properties of the Quark-Gluon Plasma. In cosmology, it is believed that the early expanding universe consisted of such plasma a few microseconds after the Big Bang. The CERN particle accelerator allows to create and study this novel state of matter in collisions of high energetic atomic nuclei. My measurements are carried out using the ALICE experiment. Little is known about this peculiar state of matter and I am studying this fascinating period in cosmological evolution in more detail. Moreover, I am working on the development of a new generation of large-area silicon pixel sensors in commercial applications outside my field of fundamental research, such as for medical imaging and material analysis.
