GUNTHER ROLAND, Associate
Professor of Physics
Research Interests
Professor Roland's research interests are
in:
- experimental studies of hadronic and nuclear
interactions;
- understanding the properties of strongly
interacting matter under extreme conditions;
- experimental, mathematical and computational
aspects of many-particle correlation measurements and multiscale
fluctuation analysis;
- and hardware and software technology of
charged particle tracking in high multiplicity environments.
