Research
My research activity focuses on heavy-ion physics and on the development of detectors for particle tracking and identification. I am leading the ALICE group at GSI in Darmstadt which is part of the ALICE Collaboration. Our research contributions involve both data analysis and detector construction and operation. My team in Heidelberg strongly profits from the expertise and resources of my group at GSI and we work together in close collaboration.
Since 2016 we also collaborate with the theory department (ITP) in Heidelberg in the context of the ISOQUANT Collaborative Research Center. Our work focuses on a phenomenology description of hot QCD matter and we are involved in the two projects A02 ("From QCD transport to particle yields") and C06 ("Flow and fluctuations in relativistic heavy-ion collisions").
