Congratulations to Duke Physics graduate student and #QCD group member Dr Xiaojun Yao for successfully defending his PhD thesis on Quarkonium production in relativistic heavy ion collision!

Congratulations Duke Physics alumnus and #QCD group member Jonah Bernhard for winning the 2019 RHIC & AGS Thesis Award for his thesis on “Bayesian Parameter Estimation for Relativistic Heavy Ion Collisions”! I accepted the award on Jonah’s behalf today at Brookhaven Lab

Congratulations to Duke Physics graduate student and #QCD group member Weiyao Ke for successfully defending his PhD thesis on the Partonic Transport Model Application to Heavy Flavor. Weiyao will be a postdoc at Berkeley Lab’s Nuclear Science Division this fall

Congratulations to Duke Physics graduate student and #QCD group member Yingru Xu for successfully defending her PhD thesis on the Data Driven Analysis of Heavy Quark Transport in Relativistic Heavy Ion Collisions! Great job, Dr Xu!
