Research Interests
My research area is theoretical particle physics, with a particular emphasis on understanding the fundamental interactions that govern the behaviour of elementary particles.
I am especially interested in the computation of perturbative QCD corrections, which enable precision tests of our understanding of high-energy particle physics at hadron colliders.
At the high energies probed by the LHC, the QCD coupling constant is sufficiently small to allow a perturbative approach, which has proven successful in calculating cross sections
for numerous final states produced in proton-proton collisions. To this end, I aim to develop and refine new techniques to carry out these computations and to apply them to deliver
accurate theoretical calculations that can be directly used by experimental collaborations at the LHC and future colliders to analyze and interpret experimental data against the predictions
of the Standard Model.
