Claudia Ratti (PI)
Dr. Ratti is the PI of the project. She got her Ph.D. from Torino University (Italy). Her expertise is on phenomenology of the Quark-Gluon Plasma and lattice QCD. Her role is to coordinate the project, analyze the lattice QCD data, build the bridge between theory and experiment, define the relevant observables to achieve the project’s goals, disseminate the results by means of scientific publications, talks at international conferences, seminars and public lectures. She is currently mentoring two Ph.D. students and one postdoc.
Jacquelyn Noronha-Hostler (Post-doc)
Dr. Noronha-Hostler is a collaborator in the project. She got her Ph.D. from Frankfurt University (Germany). Her expertise is on phenomenology of the Quark-Gluon Plasma and hydrodynamic simulations of heavy ion collisions. Her role is to help with the lattice data analysis and with building the bridge between theory and experiment. She is also disseminating the project results by means of scientific publications, talks at international conferences, seminars and public lectures. She is helping in mentoring the two Ph.D. students.
Israel Portillo Vazquez (Ph.D. Student)
Dr. Portillo Vazquez is a participant in the project. He got a Ph.D. in Computer Science from the University of Texas El Paso (USA). His expertise is on numerical simulations of the dense phases of QCD matter and color superconductivity. His role is to analyze the lattice data and help building the bridge between theory and experiment. He is also investigating the phase diagram in the search for the critical point. He will help disseminating the project results by means of scientific publications and talks at international conferences.
Paolo Parotto (Ph.D. Student)
Mr. Parotto is a collaborator in the project. He got his master degree from the University of Torino (Italy). His expertise is on the hadron resonance gas model. His role is to interpret the lattice results in terms of effective degrees of freedom, define the relevant observables to achieve the project’s goals and compare the lattice results to experiment. He will help disseminating the project results by means of scientific publications and talks at international conferences.
