Overview of the Recent ALICE Experimental Results

The ALICE experiment is dedicated to studies of the quark-gluon plasma (QGP), which is created in heavy ion collisions at extreme conditions with very high temperature and energy density. This state of matter was present at the early stage of the universe. The Large Hadron Collider (LHC) accelerator provides the opportunity to recreate this unique state of matter in Pb- Pb collisions, where the properties of nuclear matter can be investigated. Studies of less complex systems like pp or p-Pb collisions provide a reference for heavy ion collisions and allow for studies of cold nuclear matter effect studies. During LHC Run 1 and Run 2 the ALICE experiment has collected data at center of mass energies ranging from 0.9 TeV to 13 TeV, the highest energy available at the colliding machine. The ALICE experiment also recorded p-Pb collisions at $\sqrt{s_{\rm pA}} = 5.02$ and 8.16 TeV and Pb-Pb collisions at $\sqrt{s_{\rm AA}} = 2.76$ and 5.02 TeV. Selected recent results from the ALICE experiment will be shown.
