#### Myself - a short introduction:

I am interested in QCD at high energies and densities as encountered in virtually all modern collider experiments, be it in the search for the Higgs particle or the Quark Gluon Plasma. My own field of research has centered on the Color Glass Condensate (CGC), a highly correlated state of predominantly gluons. Field theory and the JIMWLK equation are the main tools to describe the energy dependence of the CGC dominated contribution to experiments as conducted at BNL and CERN.

I am director of CTMP, a NITheP affiliate as well as a member of SA-CERN and UCT-CERN

##### Jack de Wet Student Competition 2013:

The Centre of Theoretical and Mathematical Physics at the University of Cape Town announces the Jack de Wet Student Competition 2013. The competition is open to all science students currently enrolled at a South African University. The Department of Physics and the Department of Mathematics at the University of Cape Town sponsor the competition with R2000 to be awarded for the best and most elegant solution to a problem set by the prize committee (poster , details ). The winner will be invited to UCT for a presentation and and award ceremony.
