The equation of state of dense matter determined by strong interactions and the phase structure of nuclear matter is one of the most significant research topics in nuclear physics. The quark-hadron phase transition after the Big Bang may determine the ratio of dark matter to visible matter, the number and distribution of galaxies in the universe, the formation of supernovae, neutron stars, and Earth-like planets. The long-term plans of major scientific facilities in the United States, Europe, Russia, China, and other countries clearly include the study of the properties of dense nuclear matter and the phase transition between hadrons and quarks as their main research content. My research focuses on the detection theory of high-density nuclear matter properties and is based on heavy-ion collision transport models. By combining experiments, I provide information on the equation of state of high-density nuclear matter and the boundary of the phase transition for dense nuclear matter, which helps people understand the evolution of the universe in the early and late stages and increases our understanding of non-perturbative QCD strong interactions.

As an independent researcher, I mainly focus on the following fields, e.g., heavy-ion collisions (HICs) at low and intermediate energies; Isospin and symmetry energy effects in HICs; Equation of State (EoS) of nuclear matter in HICs; Nuclear Symmetry Energy; Phase-transition of dense matter from hadronic state to QGP state in Relativistic HICs, etc.

I mainly engage in theoretical research related to intermediate energy heavy ion collisions. In the more than ten years of independent scientific research, I have conducted a series of innovative and systematic research work in the development of isospin related transport theory modeling, the detection and constraint of dense nuclear matter equation of state, nucleon-nucleon short-range correlation effects and particle production in heavy ion collisions, and hadron-quark phase transition in nuclear matter, etc. Specifically, I have constrained the effective momentum of nuclear nucleon motion, proposed the concept of momentum gap for asymmetric nuclear matter nucleon motion, developed and established transport theory models related to isospin and short-range correlation, proposed the concept of isospin blocking, and implemented a qualitative detection method for high-density symmetry energy. I have also pointed out the blind spots in the laboratory detection of high-density symmetry energy and proposed new probes using squeezed nucleon emission, photon production, mesons or doubly strange baryons with hidden strange quarks. I have discovered that intermediate energy heavy ion nuclear reactions can produce super neutron star matter under super-strong magnetic field conditions and proposed a new mode of studying the phase transition from nucleonic matter to quark matter. I have also pointed out that doubly strange particles are more suitable than singly strange particles for exploring the properties of high density nuclear matter, and proposed the use of a new three-nucleus colliding mode to study the synthesis of superheavy elements and the properties of high-density nuclear matter. I also made a first determination of QCD phase diagram and study the strangeness production in neutron stars firstly by a dynamical method.To date, I have published more than 50 research papers in international journals, including 24 in top nuclear physics research journals such as Phys. Rev. Lett., Phys. Lett. B and Phys. Rev. C/D Rapid Communications, making me one of the people who have independently published the most innovative research articles in this field domestically.
