In the theory of ultrarelativistic heavy ion collisions, we focus on understanding the production mechanisms and properties of strongly interacting elementary particle matter -- the Quark-Gluon Plasma in particular. We aim at solid predictions for observables measurable in the collider experiments at CERN-LHC and BNL-RHIC, based on which the matter properties can be determined. Our basic tools are Quantum Chromodynamics, its perturbation theory and effective theories, Monte Carlo event generators and relativistic hydrodynamics. 

We work in close contact with ALICE group at JYFL and collaborate with the QCD groups in University of Helsinki. For recent research highlights, see the JYFL Annual Report 2021 (p. 54), and earlier 2000-2020.
