About Me

I am a Postdoc researcher in the Institute for Theoretical Physics at the Heidelberg University in Germany. My work focuses on various questions related to particle collisions at the CERN-LHC and BNL-RHIC experiments. My research focuses on the description of particle collisions using Quantum Chromodynamics, jets, finite-temperature, and non-equilibrium field theories. I contribute to several ongoing measurements by providing predictions and introducing new techniques such as artificial intelligence.

Interests
  • High-energy heavy-ion collisions
  • QCD and jets
  • Non-equilibrium QFT
  • Artificial Intelligence
Education
  • PhD. in physics, 2023

    University of Bergen, Norway

  • MSc. in physics, 2018

    Eotvos University Budapest, Hungary
