I am a theoretical particle physics PhD candidate at New Mexico State University, USA. I am currently engaged in research aimed at understanding the intrinsic motion of quarks and gluons inside the proton and neutron. My PhD research under Dr. Michael Engelhardt (NMSU) focuses on lattice quantum chromodynamics (QCD) calculations of Transverse Momentum Dependent Parton Distribution Functions (TMDs) such as generalized Sivers shift, which represents the average transverse momentum of unpolarized quarks orthogonal to the transverse spin of the proton. Specifically, we are analyzing the dependence of Sivers TMDs on the longitudinal momentum fraction of the quark by placing the Wilson gauge link in various off-axis directions on the lattice.
In addition, I am collaborating with Dr. Chueng-Ryong Ji (North Carolina State University) on a research project that involves interpolating the manifestly covariant conformal group \(SO(4,2)\) between the instant form and the light-front form of relativistic dynamics. One of the main goals of this work is to study the conformal invariance of high-energy scattering processes in the aforementioned interpolating form dynamics.
As a driven and enthusiastic physicist, I am fully dedicated and committed to making significant contributions to scientific research and pushing the boundaries of our understanding of particle physics.
