My research interests focus on study the neutron star properties, the strongly interacting matter phase diagram, the deconfinement and liquid-gas phase transitions. Particularly I work on a development of a unified equation of state able to describe strongly interacting matter in all ranges of temperature and baryon density, i.e. heavy-ion collisions and neutron stars.
