Research Focus

Her research focuses on utilizing ultra-strong electromagnetic fields to study the gluon dynamics in gold nuclei to understand fundamental properties, complex patterns, and behavior of hadronic matter at high energies.  Instead of using ordinary hadronic collisions, these ultra-strong fields provide a robust reserve of high-energy photons proving a unique tool for ‘imaging' the gluons inside large nuclei, thus revealing their dynamics. 

 

Research Interest

  • Photon-induced processes
