​My current research is heavily  focused on computational physics, specifically, the numerical aspects of relativistic hydrodynamics and its applications in ultrarelativistic heavy ion collisions and the dynamical description of the quark-gluon plasma formed in these collisions. Other interests include: calculation of transport coefficients, physics of the hadron gas phase including heavy resonances, and jet suppression.

Associate Research Scientist
Columbia University

​2014 - 2015

 

  • Event-by-Event Relativistic Hydrodynamical Modelling + Jet to solve the 10 year old RAA to v2 puzzle

Postdoctoral Fellow
University of Sao Paulo

​2011 - 2014

 

  • Development of v-USPhydro: a relativistic viscous event-by-event hydrodynamical code using the Smoothed Particle Hydrodynamics algorithm. This code includes the effects of bulk and shear viscosities on the hydrodynamic evolution and freeze-out and also hadronic afterburner via UrQMD.

  • Continued study on the effects of hadron gas phase on known signals of the quark-gluon plasma via an extension of the hadron resonance spectrum (e.g. Hagedorn States).
