Nominator's project description

Professor Gale is an internationally renowned physicist, recognized for his outstanding contributions to thermal quantum field theory. He has made pioneering contributions to the field of relativistic heavy ion physics, especially in the area of electromagnetic probes of ultra-hot and super dense QCD matter as it is created in today's largest particle accelerators. During his stay in Germany, he intends to continue his theoretical exploration of the properties of QCD-matter.
