I have studied non-flow contribution to elliptic flow observable v2 in heavy ion collisions. The non-flow (non-plasma) contribution turned out to be quite large explaining a significant fraction of the observed v2 value. I have also looked into net baryon production in heavy ion collisions at RHIC (baryon stopping) and, assuming that most baryons come from valence quarks, constructed a non-linear evolution equation for the valence quark distributions of the nuclei at small-$x$. I have studied (2+1)-dimensional Georgi-Glashow model at finite temperature and have determined its' critical temperature. I am currently working on Cronin effect and high-$p_T$ suppression in particle production in pA collisions.
