Research interests: Relativistic Heavy Ion Physics
I study experimental high-energy nuclear physics and investigate the properties of strongly interacting, very hot and dense QCD matter produced in Large Hadron Collider (LHC) at CERN and Relativistic Heavy Ion Collider (RHIC) at Brookhaven National Laboratory in Long Island, NY. I am a member of CMS Collaboration at LHC and STAR Collaboration at RHIC. The CMS experiment at the LHC is a general multi-purpose detector designed to explore physics at the large (TeV) energy scales. The STAR Experiment is one of the two large scale experiments at RHIC and is designed to measure the particles that are produced in the collisions of proton to gold ions. In these experiments I explore how matter originally formed .
