Research in theoretical particle physics with particular emphasis on theory and phenomenology of strong interactions. The main focus is on understanding how the QCD quark & gluon degrees of freedom make up hadrons. The research interests include the following current topics:
- partonic structure of hadrons as revealed in high energy reactions
- transverse parton momentum dependent distribution and fragmentation functions
- form factors, parton distributions and generalized parton distributions of the nucleon
- single spin and azimuthal asymmetries in high energy collisions involving hadrons
- spontaneous breaking of chiral symmetry, and extrapolation of lattice QCD data
- non-perturbative calculations in effective chiral field theories and models
