معرفی
You Zhou is an Associate Professor at the Niels Bohr Institute, University of Copenhagen, leading the Experimental Subatomic Physics group. With a focus on Quark-Gluon Plasma (QGP) studies via the ALICE collaboration at CERN since 2010, his work leverages anisotropic particle expansion to probe QGP properties, including shear viscosity and thermalization.
- Principal Investigator of Villum Young Investigator project (2019–2024) on creating the "smallest droplet of early universe"
- Over 450 publications in experimental nuclear/particle physics
- Organized major international conferences including Initial Stages 2023 and Quark Matter workshops
His research bridges high-energy nuclear physics, particle correlations, and collective flow, supported by grants from the Carlsberg Foundation, DFF-Sapere Aude, and Villum Foundation. He supervises students from bachelor projects to PhDs, including award-winning theses from Katarina Gajdosova and Vojtech Pacik.
Key awards include the Villum Young Investigator (2019) and Carlsberg Postdoctoral Fellowship (2016). Recent lectures span the Nordic Winter School and Peking University. His work on femtoscopy, hypernuclei, and photon production has advanced understanding of early universe conditions and matter formation.
