My main interest in life is the study of elementary particles and their interactions, as revealed by experiments at particle colliders at CERN and Fermilab. Currently I am working on the application of perturbative QCD to high energy processes, with the particular aim of understanding hadronic collisions at the LHC. I am a member of the NNPDF collaboration, to determine unbiased parton distributions from a global analysis of deep inelastic and hadronic data sets. I am also interested in many other aspects of QCD physics, such as HERA physics and spin physics, and have in the past worked on the formulation of effective field theories, the exact renormalization group, and the structure of chiral gauge theories.
