Research Interests
I investigate strong interactions in particle physics using lattice quantum chromodynamics (QCD). This non-perturbative, systematically improvable framework provides first-principles access to the properties of hadrons and the dynamics of their constituent quarks and gluons.
My research focuses on the spectrum, structure, and interactions of hadrons, with particular emphasis on systems containing heavy quarks. Through these studies, I aim to deepen our understanding of strong interactions, complement phenomenological analyses, and help guide experimental searches for yet-undiscovered hadronic states.
Beyond QCD, I explore strongly coupled theories, including supersymmetric field theories and matrix models, as well as disordered quantum systems. My interests include non-perturbative dynamics, spectral properties, and localization phenomena, connecting questions across high-energy and condensed matter physics.
My journey with lattice gauge theory began during my PhD, where I used numerical simulations to study supersymmetric field theories non-perturbatively. This established the foundation in lattice methods that I continue to apply and refine in QCD and in studies of theories relevant to physics beyond the Standard Model.
I am also interested in developing numerical methods for challenging physical systems, including Monte Carlo algorithms, adaptive sampling, and machine learning. High-performance computing is central to these efforts. I work on efficient algorithms and parallel implementations that enable larger simulations, exploration of demanding parameter regimes, and more precise numerical results while making effective use of available computational resources.
