Hello, my name is Oveis Sheibani. I am a particle physics researcher and currently work as a postdoctoral fellow. I am a member of the ALICE collaboration. I completed my graduate studies at the University of Houston and now continuing my research as a postdoctoral fellow.

I am particularly interested in understanding Quantum Chromodynamics (QCD), the theory that explains the strong force responsible for binding quarks and gluons. When it comes to the question of what makes the world around us as it is, one might say it is the chemistry arising from the arrangement of electrons in the network of ions and nuclei. But you can go deeper than that. The contents of a proton or a neutron are made out of what is described by quantum chromodynamics, the combination of quarks and gluons in a dynamic, confined soup that makes up the nucleons. Over the last 50 years, we have accumulated extensive experimental evidence of how these constituents bind together and how they interact and how can we deconfine quarks and gluons and make them to form almost a thermal state in Pb-Pb collisions. This is the smallest thermal system in size (about a 10 fm), and almost confirms the validity of thermodynamics in almost all the scale of the universe.
