Study of the QCD phase transition, from ordinary matter
to Quark Gluon Plasma (QGP) in ultra-relativistic heavy-ion
collisions with the ALICE experiment at the LHC; measurement of hadronic resonance properties and production cross section in
presence of strongly interacting matter; particle production in
different collision systems (pp, pA, AA) and nuclear effects;
particle identification techniques; hadron identification in pp,
p-Pb and Pb-Pb collisions; detector calibration; performance
studies of a Time-Of-Flight detector based on Multi-Gap Resistive
Plate Chambers technology; tools for offline data Quality Assurance
(QA) controls and Online Data Quality Monitoring (DQM); ALICE
upgrades.
