Researching 5-Dimensional Modeling of Quark-Gluon Plasma (QGP) in Heavy-Ion Collisions under the advisement of Dr. Sean Bartz (continuation of research from SURE 2021). Poster attached presented at APS April Meeting 2023:- Mapping the phase boundary between ordinary nuclear matter and the quark-gluon plasma (QGP) is an important project for both experiment and theory. Of particular interest is the search for the critical point, the value of temperature and baryon chemical potential where the smooth phase transition becomes discontinuous. Anti-de Sitter/Quantum Chromodynamics (AdS/QCD) is an application of the gauge/gravity duality that describes some aspects of nuclear matter, including the QGP. This work is an example of a soft-wall AdS/QCD model, which uses a dilaton field to set the overall energy scale and introduces a black hole to model thermodynamics. We study the chiral phase transition in a model with a coupling between the chiral field and the dilaton, which has been shown to produce a critical point. We study the effect of the quark mass and scalar-dilaton coupling coefficient on the location and existence of the critical point.- Numerically solved chiral phase transitions through a number of python scripts to find first-order (discontinuous) and crossover (continuous) phases transitions dependent on quark mass, baryonic chemical potential, and chiral-dilaton coupling strength.

Provided tutoring assistance to those in physics classes and labs, in attempt to convey concepts that might be difficult to grasp:- Understood how students think and approach problems in order to better guide them toward a more concise process and ultimately, the solution.- Tutored up to multiple people at one time, ensuring that people are set and able to proceed with problems they are working on and answering questions that benefit their learning most.
