Małgorzata Janik

Małgorzata Janik is an Assistant Professor in the Nuclear Physics Division at the Faculty of Physics, Warsaw University of Technology. Her research focuses on high-energy nuclear physics, particularly studying particle production and dynamics in heavy-ion collisions at the Large Hadron Collider (LHC). She is actively involved with the ALICE experiment, investigating quark-gluon plasma properties through measurements of charm and beauty mesons, jet quenching, and collective flow phenomena. Her work encompasses femtoscopy techniques, particle spin alignment, and precision measurements of exotic particles like hypernuclei and antihypernuclei.

Key research areas include:

• Heavy flavor physics and quarkonium suppression
• Jet-medium interactions in relativistic collisions
• Quantum chromodynamics (QCD) phase transitions
• Collective behavior in high-multiplicity events

Her publications from 2024-2025 demonstrate advanced analysis of ALICE data across topics like energy-energy correlators, antiproton vertexing, and strangeness production mechanisms. Current experimental efforts include developing femtoscopic methods to probe hadron emission sources and exploring antimatter dynamics through positronium cooling experiments.

Technical contributions include detector optimization for submicrometer resolution tracking and autonomous control systems (CIRCUS) for antimatter experiments. Her work bridges fundamental physics questions with cutting-edge particle accelerator technologies.
