Collaborators at other institutions:
These efforts have involved many active collaborators: Prof. R. Brower (Boston U.), Prof. E. M. Levin (Tel Aviv U.), Prof. S. Mathur (Ohio State U.), Prof. J. Polchinski, (UC, Santa Barbara), Prof. M. Strassler (U. of Washington), and Prof. C. Thorn (U. of Florida). Most recently, he has also begun a collaborative research program with Drs. D. Kharzeev and F. Karsch, (both of BNL), addressing certain issues in de-confinement transition where detectable signals can show up at RHIC and/or LHC.
