My research interests primarily concern nonperturbative phenomena in quantum field
theories, with particular emphasis on the study of hadron formation and confinement in
quantum chromodynamics using computer simulations of quarks and gluons. Recent highlights
include a first comprehensive determination of the glueball spectrum in
pure Yang-Mills and the spectrum of heavy-quark hybrid
mesons in the leading Born-Oppenheimer approximation (neglecting light quark loops).
