Prof. Claudia Ratti

<p>"I am a theoretical nuclear/high energy physicist originally from Italy. I am interested in strongly interacting matter under extreme conditions of temperature and density. I use numerical simulations to solve Quantum Chromodynamics, the fundamental theory of strong interactions, and I compare my results to the experimental data from the Large Hadron Collider (CERN). In my free time I like playing the cello, working out, reading and baking. During the pandemic I had to give up another passion of mine: traveling. I hope I can start again soon!" &nbsp;</p> <p><br></p> <p><strong>My Journey as a Physicist is brought to you by PhD student </strong><a href="https://perl.natsci.msu.edu/people/graduate-students/bryan-stanley/" rel="ugc noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">Bryan Stanley</a><strong> (he/him/his) and Prof. </strong><a href="https://www.google.com/url?q=https%3A%2F%2Fweb.pa.msu.edu%2Fpeople%2Fhwlin%2F&amp;sa=D&amp;sntz=1&amp;usg=AFQjCNHKpswHb14HhBLArZNZxdgSumIxoA" rel="ugc noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">Huey-Wen Lin</a><strong> (she/her).
