Research

Together with my adviser Scott Pratt I am working at
MSU/
NSCL on modeling
relativistic heavy ion collisions for my
Ph.D. thesis. We hope to apply our results to
experimental data from the Relativistic Heavy Ion
Collider (RHIC) at
Brookhaven National Lab (BNL) on Long Island.

RHIC Transport Theory Collaboration
(RTTC)
|
The RTTC Collaboration consists of theoretical
physicists from ten institutions in North America. The
goals of the collaboration are to develop open-source
transport codes for the purpose of interpreting data from
RHIC.
My work in the collaboration involves designing,
implementing, testing, and
maintaining a general and modular Boltzmann transport
package (a.k.a.
GROMIT).
It works with both hadronic and partonic degrees of
freedom and can employ a manifestly boost invariant
collision formalism.
