About
Dr. Yee is broadly interested in many aspects of Quantum Chromo Dynamics (QCD), the theory governing quarks and gluons that constitute basic building blocks of matter in the Universe. His recent research has been focused on the physics of heavy-ion collisions at RHIC (Relativistic Heavy Ion Collider) and LHC (Large Hadron Collider), where new states of QCD matter with extremely high temperature and density are created. Some of these studies also have implications in the physics of condensed matter systems of Dirac/Weyl semimetals.
