Dr Michael Strickland is a professor of physics at Kent State University. His primary interest is the physics of the quark-gluon plasma （QGP） and high temperature QFT. The QGP is predicted by QCD to have existed until approximately 10-s seconds after the Big Bang. The QGP is currently being studied terrestrially by experimentalists at the Relativistic Heavy Ion Collider (RHIC） at Brookhaven National Laboratory and the Large Hadron Collider (LHC） at CERN. Dr Michael Strickland has published research papers on various topics related to the QGP,QFT,relativistic hydrodynamics, and many other topics.In addition, he has co-written a classic text on the physics of neural networks.
