My research interests include elementary particle phenomenology in the Standard Model and beyond; perturbative computations and factorization methods in quantum chromodynamics; statistical applications for high-energy physics.

| I am a scientist working on theoretical physics of elementary particles, which explores physical objects at tiniest distances accessible to modern science. We study the most basic forces existing in nature and microscopic events that drive the evolution of the Universe since its very beginning. My recent efforts focus on predicting quantum interactions at the Large Hadron Collider near Geneva, Switzerland and at the planned Electron-Ion Collider at the Brookhaven National Laboratory in USA. I develop theoretical models to explain how particles are produced through strong and electroweak interactions. Scientists apply these models to understand observations at particle colliders — the largest microscopes ever built — and to search for Higgs bosons and novel types of particles and forces. I am also interested in understanding how composite protons, neutrons and other hadrons are formed as bound states of quarks and gluons. My work involves calculations in quantum field theory, computer simulations, as well as multivariate statistical analysis of diverse experimental data. I participate in the development of widely used CTEQ-TEA (CT) parametrizations of parton distribution functions as a member of CTEQ collaboration. |
