Mikhail Stephanov

Mikhail Stephanov is Visiting Professor (2023-2024 academic year) at the University of Chicago Department of Physics. His primary affiliation is with the University of Illinois Chicago where he specializes in theoretical high-energy physics, particularly quantum chromodynamics.

Research interests likely include phase transitions in quark matter, critical phenomena in QCD, and connections between nuclear physics and fundamental quantum field theories. His theoretical work provides frameworks for interpreting relativistic heavy-ion collision experiments.
