dr. Gergely Gábor Barnaföldi is a physicist and astronomer working in the fields of high-energy theoretical and experimental nuclear physics, and compact stars. His scientific focus is on to explore the properties of super-dense nuclear matter at the Big Bang and in neutron star interiors. He has stared his carrier at the Wigner Research Centre for Physics in2001 and got PhD from the Eötvös Loránd University, Budapest. He continued at the Kent State University (OH, USA) and at CERN for longer times, before returned back to the Hungary. He is member of the CERN's Large Hadron Collider ALICE collaboration. In 2009 he formed the Wigner GPU Laboratory of parallel computing and he is leading the experimental Hungarian ALICE Group. Since 2013 he is also the leader of the Heavy- Ion Wigner Research group of at the Department for Theoretical Physics. He is an author of more than 100 theoretical works and contributed to further 300 experimental publications. He participated in the formation of the Young Academy of Sciences in Hungary, and received the Physics Prize by the Hungarian Academy of Sciences and the Bürgen Scholar by Academia Europaea.
