Joseph Kapusta

Professor
Theoretical Nuclear Physics
Education
  • Ph.D. Physics, University of California, Berkeley, 1978. 
  • M.A. Physics, University of California, Berkeley, 1976. 
  • B.A., Mathematics and Physics, University of Wisconsin, Madison, 1974. 
Research Interests
I study matter at high energy-density with relativistic quantum field theory.

The theories of interest are QCD, effective hadronic field theories, and electroweak theory.  The physical environments are high energy nuclear collisions, the early universe, and black holes.
