Researcher, principal investigator

Graduated from the University of Oslo in 2008. Postdocs in Santiago de Compostela, Lund, Barcelona. CERN fellow, before awarded TMS Starting Grant at UiB in 2018. I'm interested in QCD in extreme conditions, jets and their quenching, and cosmology.

Adam Takacs
PhD student

I am from Budapest and I did there my BSc and MSc specializing in theoretical and particle physics. Since then I worked with many aspects of physics elasticity, galactical dynamics, and more recently heavy-ion physics. My current interests are jets and the description of particle production in high-energy collisions. My thesis project is about to develop a Monte Carlo generator that can simulate how jet particles interact with the quark-gluon plasma.

Johannes Hamre Isaksen
PhD student

I am a PhD student in the group, and I work on different aspects of the theory of jet quenching. I am originally from Bergen and did my Bachelor here. Then I went on to complete my Master in Theoretical Physics at Imperial College London, where I wrote about the AdS/CFT correspondence and its application in heavy ion physics. In my research I am focusing on different refinements to describing particle propagation and splitting in a thermal medium.

PhD student

I come from Coimbra, Portugal, where I studied Nuclear and Particle Physics before coming to Bergen. Here I am starting my PhD on Phenomenology, which I find most interesting for its bridge between theory and experiment. Apart from Heavy Ion Physics, I am also interested in Beyond the Standard Model and Fundamental Physics.

Master student

Master student in the heavy-ion group here at the University of Bergen. The goal of my master thesis is to use Bayesian inference and MCMC (Markov Chain Monte Carlo) sampling to estimate the energy-loss distribution of QCD jets in a quark-gluon plasma. I am going to try to impliment in such a way that one can distinguish between energy-loss of quark-dominated jets and gluon-dominated jets.
