Research
I work in the intersection of high-energy nuclear and particle physics.
My main research activity deals with the understanding of how QCD jets interact with the hot and dense medium created in heavy-ion collisions. I am also interested in non-equilibrium properties of strongly interacting systems, and how to use tools of machine learning and data-driven methods to help us analyze data.
In 2018 I was awarded a TMS Starting Grant to establish a research group at the Department of Physics and Technology.

Projects
My current project is titled "Thermalizing jets" and is founded by the Trond Mohn Foundation (Starting Grant). It deals with the description of jet processes in heavy-ion collisions.
