My research activity is aimed at computing various observables of the Standard Model of particle physics, which are only accessible through numerical simulations, and make valuable inputs for experimental physicists. More specifically, this revolves around a set of techniques on which is built Lattice Quantum Field Theory.
While I worked on many different thematics in this area, I am currently mostly interested about heavy flavour physics. This means -amongst other things- trying to understand the many long-standing tensions in CKM matrix elements, to understanding the very interesting B anomalies discovered by LHCb, and to provide theoretical results accompanying the new generation of charm results from BESIII.
This involves a heavy use of supercomputers, with highly-optimised codes and algorithms. The machines I am currently using are situated in Stuttgart, Munich, Barcelona, and smaller systems in Zeuthen and Santiago de Compostela.
