Our group studies the properties and interactions of hadrons and nuclei in the low-energy non-perturbative regime of quantum chromodynamics (QCD). To this end, we combine lattice QCD calculations with insights from effective field theories to obtain first-principles predictions of hadronic observables.
Current research directions include:
- The properties of unstable hadrons, including exotics such as the doubly-charmed tetraquark.
- The determination of multi-pion and pion-nucleon scattering parameters.
- The study of multi-nucleon systems and the calculation of three-baryon processes from first principles.
- Development of a finite-volume formalism for multi-hadron scattering and electroweak transitions.
- Acceleration of lattice QCD calculations using novel machine-learned algorithms, especially normalizing flows.
