The Universe in the Lab
During my time as a GSI intern, I gained valuable experience that shaped my understanding of the field.
GSI holds the record for the discovery of the largest number of nuclear isomers (192), has discovered six superheavy chemical elements, and is currently constructing FAIR (Facility for Antiproton and Ion Research), a major international research infrastructure that is positioning the institute among the world’s leading scientific centers.
I worked under the supervision of Dr. Maksym Teklishyn and Dr. Valerii Panin on two different experiments, which is also relatively uncommon, as participants are typically assigned to a single project.
I contributed to both the CBM and NUSTAR collaborations. Through FAIR, four major experimental programs are being developed: CBM, NUSTAR, APPA, and PANDA.
