Welcome to my personal homepage!

I am an Assistant Professor of Physics at the University of Houston. My investigations mainly concern the properties of strongly interacting QCD matter under extreme conditions such as those realized in ultra-relativistic heavy-ion collisions and neutron stars.

Previously, I had obtained my Master degree in Physics at Taras Shevchenko National University of Kyiv in Ukraine, a PhD degree at Goethe University Frankfurt in Germany, and then held appointments as a Research Assistant at the Institute for Theoretical Physics of the Goethe University in Frankfurt, Germany, a Feodor Lynen Research Fellow in the Nuclear Science Division at Lawrence Berkeley National Laboratory and a Research Assistant Professor at the Institute for Nuclear Theory at the University of Washington.

Here you can find information about my research, publications, talks, and projects.
