Welcome!
We are a research group fueled by a passion to unravel our Universe at its most fundamental level. Central to our work is the strong interaction—the mighty force described by Quantum Chromodynamics that binds quarks and gluons into protons, neutrons, and atomic nuclei. We aim to unlock the secrets of superdense matter in neutron star cores under strong-field gravity in General Relativity, probe the deep/fundamental structure of quantum systems, and explore exotic particles born in extreme environments. Our research spans from the energetic dynamics of heavy ion collisions to the subtle ripples of gravitational waves traversing spacetime, pushing the boundaries of nuclear physics and astrophysics. Alongside, we leverage large-scale learning algorithms to decipher complex data and uncover hidden truths about the laws governing our Universe.
We believe science thrives on curiosity, focus, collaboration, and shared growth. In our group, learning is a vibrant exchange—where students and researchers inspire, challenge, and uplift each other. If you’re inspired by a sense of wonder, excited to tackle questions that stretch from the tiniest quantum fields to the vastness of neutron stars and black holes, and ready to embark on a bold adventure of discovery with commitment and purpose, we eagerly welcome you to join us and grow together.

Manifesto from Tim Cook
- We believe that we exist to make great discoveries.
- We believe in innovation and thinking out of the box.
- We believe in the simple, not the complex.
- We believe in seeking a deep understanding of the mathematics behind the discoveries we make.
- We believe in doing research only on areas where we can make a significant and new contribution.
- We believe in saying no to thousands of projects so that we can concentrate our efforts on the most meaningful ones.
- We believe in extensive collaboration and cross-pollination in order to innovate in ways individuals cannot.
- We believe in striving for excellence in all aspects of our work and we settle for no less.
- We believe in honesty above all, even when the truth does not benefit us.
- We have the courage to admit when we are wrong, the tenacity to change and the determination to improve.
