Bayesian parameter estimation for relativistic heavy-ion collisions
I develop and apply a Bayesian method for quantitatively estimating properties of the quark-gluon plasma (QGP), an extremely hot and dense state of fluid-like matter created in relativistic heavy-ion
Extracting the temperature dependence in high- p⊥ particle energy loss
• Physics
• 2021
The suppression of high-p⊥ particles is one of the main signatures of parton energy loss during its passing through the QGP medium, and is reasonably reproduced by different theoretical models.
Nonhydrodynamic quasinormal modes and equilibration of a baryon dense holographic QGP with a critical point
• Physics

• 2018
We compute the homogeneous limit of non-hydrodynamic quasinormal modes (QNM's) of a phenomenologically realistic Einstein-Maxwell-Dilaton (EMD) holographic model for the Quark-Gluon Plasma (QGP) that
Exploring the initial stages in heavy-ion collisions with high- p⊥ theory and data
• Physics
• 2019
Traditionally, low-pT sector is used to infer the features of initial stages before QGP thermalization. On the other hand, recently acquired wealth of high-pT experimental data paves the way to
( 3+1 )-dimensional anisotropic fluid dynamics with a lattice QCD equation of state

Anisotropic hydrodynamics improves upon standard dissipative fluid dynamics by treating certain large dissipative corrections nonperturbatively. Relativistic heavy-ion collisions feature two such
Temperature Effect on Shear and Bulk Viscosities of QCD Matter
• Physics

With developing a scheme to determine the thermal width of a pion in a medium, we investigate the shear and bulk viscosities and their ratios to entropy density. We calculate the temperature
Holography in Quark-Gluon Plasma and Neutron Stars
In this thesis, QCD is studied from three different directions, with one overarching theme: holography. The holographic duality allows certain strongly coupled QFTs to be described in terms of much

We present the next-to-leading-order event-by-event EKRT model predictions for the centrality dependence of the charged hadron multiplicity in the pseudorapidity interval $|\eta|\le 0.5$, and for the
