Research
In TP1, we investigate the laws of nature that describe the
elementary particles and the forces which describe their
dynamics at very small distances/very high energies. Our
research deals with conceptual aspects of Quantum Field Theory,
with the development of mathematical methods to perform
precision calculations within the Standard Model of Particle
Physics and its possible extensions, as well as with
phenomenological studies of dedicated observables at present or
future collider experiments. Among others, we are interested in
Heavy Quark Flavours, Quantum Chromodynamics, Higgs Physics,
and physics Beyond the Standard Model.
