My research focuses on hadron structure, perturbative QCD, parton distribution and fragmentation functions, machine-learning-assisted global analyses, and precision collider phenomenology, including top-quark, Higgs, electroweak, and beyond-the-Standard-Model studies at present and future facilities such as the LHC, FCC, LHeC, and EIC.

Research highlights

Precision QCD at the Electron-Ion Collider (EIC)

A central direction of my current research is the development of precision QCD analyses for the Electron-Ion Collider (EIC), with emphasis on proton parton distribution functions, fragmentation functions, and helicity-dependent structure. This work connects present-day global fits to projected EIC measurements in order to quantify how future data can sharpen our knowledge of hadron structure, flavor separation, and QCD dynamics across a wider kinematic range.

Selected recent work in this area includes studies of projected EIC constraints on proton PDFs, pion fragmentation functions, and helicity PDFs. The papers below give a compact overview of these themes.

Top-quark and Higgs boson phenomenology at the LHC and future colliders

Another active part of my research concerns precision phenomenology for top-quark and Higgs-boson processes, with particular emphasis on the connection between theory predictions, measurable collider observables, and future experimental opportunities at the LHC and next-generation collider facilities (FCC/LHeC).

Selected related publications can be browsed through my INSPIRE-HEP profile.

QCD phenomenology

I work broadly on QCD phenomenology, including hadron structure, parton distributions, fragmentation functions, perturbative calculations, and data-driven global analyses. A recurring goal is to build a more quantitative bridge between formal QCD theory, modern fitting methodology, and experimentally relevant observables at present and future facilities.

A broader list of publications is available via my INSPIRE-HEP profile.
