Summary of Research
My research entails exploring areas of QCD where perturbative methods may not be the most suitable. This involves the use of lattice-QCD where I delve into techniques of digitization such as the application of discrete crystal-like subgroups. My current studies involve the use of high-performance computing to study the phase structure of such systems and further these developments for use in lattice gauge theory simulations on quantum computers. Moreover, I am researching the application of spectral methods to obtain the mass gap in both HPC and quantum simulations for lattice gauge theories.Publications
