Research topics:

?o Lattice Gauge Theory for QCD:
????????? We calculate the properties of hadrons as parameterized by a
????????? large set of functions: Parton Distribution Funtions (PDFs),
????????? generalisierte PDFs (GPDs), transverse momentum dependent PDFs
????????? (TMDs), Distribution Amplitudes (DAs), Double Parton
????????? Distributions (DPDs) ... . While traditionally one was able to
????????? calculate only very few leading moments of such functions far
????????? more efficient methods were developed in the last decade, also
????????? by us, of which the most prominent is LaMET. We continue to
????????? develop and apply LaMET as members of a very large international
????????? team, called the "Lattice Parton Collaboration".

?o Quantum Information Science (QIS):
????????? In recent years an extensive and ever denser network of links
????????? between Quantum Field Theory, Quantum Gravity and String Theory,
????????? Thermodynamics and Quantum Computing was established, which is
????????? often referred to as QIS. Basically, duality relations between
????????? computational techniques of all these fields have been
????????? established, which allow to formulate fundamental physics
????????? problems in completely different languages and to use in each
????????? case the most efficient one. This we do within a large
????????? international collaboration.

?o? AI in Medicine:
?????????? In collaboration with the group of Prof. Michael Altenbuchinger
?????????? in G?ttingen we apply AI techniques to the analysis of clinical
?????????? data to improve the scientific understanding of specific
?????????? questions as well as optimizing treatment in what is usually
????????? called "personalized medicine".
