Research Work
Effective Field Theories (EFTs) in Particle Physics.
The construction of higher mass dimensional effective operators based on Infrared (IR) degrees of freedoms (described in terms of fields as well as superfields) and the automatization of such a construction.
Establishing selection criteria for Ultraviolet (UV) extensions of the Standard Model based on symmetry arguments by “unfolding” contact operators into Feynman diagrams containing heavy field propagators.
Studying the corrections to the mass spectra and low energy observables due to higher mass dimensional operators.
Studying the embedding of the operators of the Low Energy Effective Field Theory (LEFT) within those of the Standard Model Effective Field Theory (SMEFT).
Extending the EFT toolkit to account for out of equilibrium phenomena.
Application of Machine Learning for solving problems in high energy physics.
Using computational tools based on Neural Networks for obtaining bubble profiles and searching for the nucleation temperature for the electroweak phase transition in modified theories of gravity.
