Ohio State is in the process of revising websites and program materials to accurately reflect compliance with the law. While this work occurs, language referencing protected class status or other activities prohibited by Ohio Senate Bill 1 may still appear in some places. However, all programs and activities are being administered in compliance with federal and state law.

Prof. Gorda is joining the faculty of the Physics department in 2025. He is broadly interested in the behavior of strongly interacting matter at high densities and exploring this region of the phase diagram of quantum chromodynamics (QCD), the theory of the strong nuclear force.
 
Prof. Gorda primarily studies the equation of state of neutron-star matter, and specifically he has worked to synthesize inputs from astrophysics, nuclear theory, and particle theory to constrain the phase of matter reached in the cores of massive neutron stars. His research is interdisciplinary and consists of analytic calculations using QCD itself as well as numerical and statistical techniques to estimate the most likely thermodynamic behavior of dense nuclear matter.
