Research, Training and Innovation

My research interests lie at the intersection of particle physics, nuclear physics, and astrophysics - studying the nature and properties of matter under extreme conditions such as those in high-energy heavy-ion collisions and in high-density compact astrophysical objects. My focus is on the understanding of the equation of state and transport properties of matter produced in heavy-ion collisions and in astrophysical compact objects (including during their collisions or explosions). The study is conducted using  theoretical, mathematical, and computational methods in (1) Relativistic Fluid Dynamics, (2) Kinetic Theory, and (3) Thermodynamics and Statistical Models.
