Trine Spedstad Tveter

Trine Spedstad Tveter is a Professor in the Department of Physics at the University of Oslo, specializing in High Energy Physics with a focus on relativistic heavy-ion and proton-proton collisions. She leads the Oslo ALICE group and collaborates with major experiments at the LHC (CERN) and RHIC (BNL). Her research explores the properties of the quark-gluon plasma under extreme conditions, including jet quenching, strangeness production, and symmetry violations in nuclear collisions.
