Research interests

I am working in the fields of Elementary Particle Physics, Hadron Physics and Computational Physics. I spend most of my time investigating properties of Quantum Chromo Dynamics (QCD), the theory of strong interactions, by numerical simulation on supercomputers, using Lattice Gauge Theory methods. I am interested in

Quarkonia
The phenomenology of glueballs and exotic mesons
The structure of the nucleon
Confinement and chiral symmetry breaking
Effective field theories
Strong forces and potential models
Instantons and the structure of the QCD vacuum

Short biography

I joined the Regensburg High Energy Physics group in April 2006. I am also Adjunct Faculty of the Theoretical Physics Department at the Tata Institute for Fundamental Research, Mumbai. Previously I worked at Glasgow University (2000-2006), at Humboldt Universität zu Berlin (1997-2000), where I obtained my "Habilitation" (The monograph can be found here), at University of Southampton (1995-1997) and at Universität Wuppertal, where I obtained my Dr. rer. nat. (PhD.).

While in Glasgow I was awarded a DFG Heisenberg Fellowship. I also held a Marie Curie Fellowship and a PPARC (now STFC) Advanced (now Ernest Rutherford) Fellowship.

I am the coordinator of the EU Initial Training Network STRONGnet, member of the Managing Board of the DFG SFB/TR55 Hadron Physics from Lattice QCD, member of the Governing Board of the HadronPhysics3 Integrated Activity, a convenor of the Quarkonium Working Group and member of the Panda Theory Advisory Group.

I am responsible for the Departmental Colloquia and member of the Prüfungsausschuss Modulares Lehramtsstudium.

Life outside of the physics world

Does it exist? Well, I am interested in cooking and road cycling as well as in history, philosophy and other pretentious matters. I enjoy listening to "music" and entertaining our two children.
