Research
My research has focussed on the properties of Hot and/or Dense Nuclear Matter found under extreme conditions, such as, Quark-Gluon Plasma formed in Relativistic Heavy-Ion Collider experiments (like RHIC, LHC, FAIR etc) and cold dense nuclear matter found inside compact stars like Neutron Stars. My particular research emphasis is on the effects of dissipation on such systems.
Research Interests:
Quark-Gluon Plasma
Strongly Interacting Matter
Relativistic Dissipative Hydrodynamics
Relativistic Heavy Ion Collisions
Nuclear Astrophysics
Research Highlights
Our works have shown the importance of viscosity and other non-ideal effects (equation of state, second order hydrodynamics theories, chemical non-equilibrium, turbulent chromo fields etc) in evolution and signals from heavy-ion collisions.
We were the first to study the effect of bulk viscosity in thermal particle (photon and dilepton) production in heavy-ion collision.
Our investigations on the phenomenon of cavitation in the expanding QGP produced in heavy-ion collisions, showed the possibility of novel shear viscosity induced cavitation scenarios.
We were one of the first to study the effect of shear viscosity on thermal particle production using causal second order hydrodynamical theories.
