Research Interests

I am interested in studying aspects of quantum chromodynamics (QCD) in deep inelastic scattering and vector meson production from nuclei as well as particle physics in nuclear interactions. The goal of studying such processes is to put limits on leading twist perturbative QCD methods, to determine the tomography of nuclei, and to study the onset of new regimes of perturbative QCD. I am also interested in nonperturbative models of strong interactions and high energy particle diffraction.
