Professional Activities & Interests / Biographical Information
I am a theoretical physicist and work mainly on phase transitions in nuclear systems, on transport theory for heavy ion collisions, and on the determination of the nuclear equation of state. Much of my work is in close connection with experimentally accessible observables, and I have enjoyed many collaborations with my experimental colleagues from NSCL and around the world. Approximately one half of my roughly 120 publications in peer-reviewed journals are collaborations with experimentalists.
During the last few years I have found out that many advances in one particular field of science can be applied in an interdisciplinary way. One example is my application of algorithms developed in my work on nuclear fragmentation to the detection of cancer cells in human bodies. Another example is the application of our methods to solve the transport problem for heavy ion collisions to the dynamics of supernova explosions. This project is still ongoing and first results look very promising.
I have also worked on chaos, non-linear dynamics, and self-organized criticality. All of these areas of study have applications to nuclear physics, but also to a great range of other systems, from molecules to traffic flow, and from the stock market to the weather.

hadron
(ˈhædrɒn) nhad•ron
(ˈhæd rɒn)n.
Noun | 1. | hadron - any elementary particle that interacts strongly with other particles antibaryon - the antiparticle of a baryon; a hadron with a baryon number of -1 antiquark - the antiparticle of a quark baryon, heavy particle - any of the elementary particles having a mass equal to or greater than that of a proton and that participate in strong interactions; a hadron with a baryon number of +1 elementary particle, fundamental particle - (physics) a particle that is less complex than an atom; regarded as constituents of all matter meson, mesotron - an elementary particle responsible for the forces in the atomic nucleus; a hadron with a baryon number of 0 quark - (physics) hypothetical truly fundamental particle in mesons and baryons; there are supposed to be six flavors of quarks (and their antiquarks), which come in pairs; each has an electric charge of +2/3 or -1/3; 'quarks have not been observed directly but theoretical predictions based on their existence have been confirmed experimentally' |
