Title: Professor
Office: SES 2264 Phone: *63413
Participating in the Chancellor’s Undergraduate Research Awards program: Yes
Research Interest:
I specialize in high-energy nuclear physics. I participate in experimental studies of the phase structure of hadronic matter with the STAR Experiment at the Relativistic Heavy Ion Collider and the CMS experiment at the Large Hadron Collider. Together with many physicists worldwide, we study matter under extreme temperatures and densities to understand better how our universe might have looked right after its creation. Minimum time commitment in hours per week: 8 Qualifications of a Student:
Prospective candidates will be evaluated based on their academic performance, employment, and research experience. Preference will be given to the student majors in the following order: (1) physics, (2) engineering, and (3) computer science. Highly motivated students with other majors are also encouraged to apply.
Programming experience (especially familiarity with C++) is a plus. Brief Summary of what is expected from the student:
The work is planned as a part of an ongoing research program within extensive international collaborations of physicists.
The research project will be related to studies of nuclear matter under extreme conditions.
Students can opt to get UIC credit for Physics 392, Physics Research.
