My interests are focused on the study of phase transitions in nuclear matter. My scientific activity was devoted to the extraction of different temperatures, freeze-out volumes, and flow velocities by using different hydrodynamic models. In particular, I used the blast-wave model with Boltzmann–Gibbs statistics and Tsallis statistics, the Hagedorn thermal model, and the standard distribution. Later, my work was focused on quark–gluon plasma (QGP) because, as we know, more than 99% of the normal matter that we see every day exists in protons and neutrons (nucleons). Under normal conditions, quarks are confined inside nucleons and can only be detectable on a scale smaller than 0.3 femtometers. At extremely high temperatures and densities, matter turns into the so-called quark–gluon plasma (QGP) phase, where quarks become deconfined. This phase is believed to have existed during the first 10 microseconds after the universe was born in the Big Bang. Recently, I have also been working on the production of light nuclei, radiation measurement, and hadron production measurement for neutrino flux prediction.
