Kort om meg

I study how ordinary matter behaves in extraordinary conditions. Ultrarelativistic nuclear collisions in modern particle colliders -- such as the LHC at CERN -- smash together atomic nuclei creating a fireball so hot (about a million times the temperature of the core of the sun!) that protons and neutrons melt to their fundamental constituents and a new form of elementary particle matter, Quark Matter, is created. This soup of elementary particles filled the universe when it was in its infancy and it has been conjectured that it may be found in the cores of the most dense astrophysical objects, in the cores of neutron stars. 

How quark matter behaves and under which conditions it is formed is governed by the fundamental theory of Quantum Chromodynamics  or QCD -- the part of the Standard Model of particle physics responsible for the strong nuclear interactions. My research utilises QCD to model the nuclear collisions and cores of neutron stars and leverages the synergies between particle physics and astrophysics.
