My research primarily explores the mechanism of hadron mass acquisition in relation to the spontaneous breaking and partial restoration of chiral symmetry.To investigate these phenomena, I conduct high-precision measurements of the spectrum functions of low-mass vector mesons, specifically the $\omega$ and $\phi$ particles, using data from the Muon Forward Tracker (MFT) detector in the ALICE experiment. By observing how these spectral shapes change in extreme environments, I aim to clarify the dynamics of the strong interaction and the nature of the phase transition in QCD matter. My work at WPI-SKCM2 seeks to bridge the understanding of chirality from the perspective of high-energy nuclear collisions to broader physical systems.

What I like about my science
I can create the extreme conditions of the early universe, such as the Quark-Gluon Plasma. It is truly fascinating to be able to experimentally verify how hadrons were formed right after the Big Bang.
