Marcus Bleicher

Prof. Dr. Marcus Bleicher is a Professor at the Institute for Theoretical Physics, Faculty of Physics, Goethe University Frankfurt. His research group investigates matter under extreme conditions (high densities/temperatures) resembling the early universe and neutron star interiors. They specialize in simulating heavy-ion collisions using the Ultrarelativistic Quantum Molecular Dynamics (UrQMD) model and collaborate with experimental facilities like GSI, RHIC, and CERN.

Research focuses include:

• Quantum Chromodynamics (QCD) of quark-gluon plasma
• Formation and properties of exotic matter
• Strangeness production in hadronic matter
• Relativistic nuclear collisions

He leads a research group including postdoctoral researchers (Dr. Alexander Botvina, Dr. Christian Spieles), doctoral students, and graduate researchers. The group maintains international collaborations through DAAD exchanges with universities in Turkey and Thailand.
