I am a theoretical physicist and my research aims at gaining novel insight into the fundamental laws of nature through perturbative precision calculations across the scope of particle collider programs.

My research is at the interface of the technical theory community and the experimental analyses, and extends from higher-order multi-loop calculations to Monte-Carlo event generators relevant to experimental analyses, to lattice-matching calculations for crucial input parameters like PDFs. The use of large scale numerical and computer algebra methods is part of my daily work.
