About
Professor Anton Andronic is a University Professor of Physics (W3) at the University of Münster, where he has served since 2018. He leads a research group within the Institute of Nuclear Physics, which is part of the Faculty of Mathematics and Natural Sciences. Previously, he worked as a research associate at GSI Darmstadt (2005-2018) and held an acting professorship at the University of Münster in 2011-2012. His research is centered around experimental heavy-ion physics, with significant contributions to major international collaborations.
Professor Andronic's research interests focus on particle production in nucleus-nucleus collisions and the QCD phase diagram. He is deeply involved in two major experimental projects: the ALICE experiment at the LHC (CERN) and the CBM experiment at FAIR. His work examines the properties of quark-gluon plasma and the strong interaction under extreme conditions of temperature and density. His current research emphasizes heavy-flavor physics, electromagnetic probes, and collective phenomena in heavy-ion collisions.
Analysis of Professor Andronic's recent publications (2023-2024) reveals a strong focus on heavy-ion collision dynamics, with particular attention to dielectron production, quarkonium physics, and heavy-flavor measurements. His work spans multiple collision systems (pp, p-Pb, Xe-Xe, and Pb-Pb) across different energy regimes. A significant portion of his recent research investigates electromagnetic probes as tools to study the quark-gluon plasma, while other work focuses on hadronic interactions and femtoscopic techniques to understand strong force dynamics.
Professor Andronic has supervised numerous doctoral students whose theses cover topics ranging from J/ψ production to heavy-flavor physics and collective dynamics in heavy-ion collisions. His group participates in major research initiatives including the DFG Research Training Group 2149 "Strong and Weak Interactions - from Hadrons to Dark Matter" and various projects related to the ALICE and CBM experiments.
