Salvatore Plumari

Salvatore Plumari is an Associate Professor in Theoretical Physics at the Department of Physics and Astronomy "E. Majorana" of the University of Catania. His research focuses on the physics of strong interactions under extreme conditions, particularly the phase diagram of nuclear matter, neutron stars, and quark-gluon plasma dynamics in ultrarelativistic heavy-ion collisions.

• Education:
  • Master’s Degree in Physics (cum laude), University of Catania (2006)
  • Ph.D. in Physics, University of Catania (2010)

He has authored over 126 publications with 3114 citations (h-index=29) and collaborated with institutions including Texas A&M University, Université Paris Saclay, and Bielefeld University. His recent work emphasizes relativistic transport theory and hadronization processes.

• Scientific Awards & Grants:
  • Principal Investigator for University of Catania grants (2019, 2020)
  • Italian National Scientific Habilitations (ASN) as Full and Associate Professor in Theoretical Physics

Plumari serves as a referee for journals like Physics Letters B, European Physical Journal C, and Physical Review C/D. He supervises thesis projects on high-temperature QCD, quark-gluon plasma dynamics, and heavy quark behavior in collisions.
