Aspects of QCD-like theories near the conformal-window. I study certain types of theories called conformal field theories using Monte Carlo simulations. These are diametrically opposite theories to QCD in the sense that they do not have any inherent mass-gap or length-scales. By studying how to deform these types of theories to produce a mass-gap, I try to understand how a proton with non-zero mass emerges from QCD, which then goes on to form the bulk of the visible universe. For this, my favorite systems live on a two-dimensional plane.
Quark and gluon structure inside hadrons through first-principle lattice QCD calculations. The question here is how the quarks and gluons are distributed within the hadrons, which are the bound-states of QCD with proton being an example. The catch however, is not to get them from experiments, but instead, to obtain them from the fundamental QCD theory directly, and thereby, try to understand their non-perturbative origin.
Thermal properties of a bulk of QCD matter. For my Ph.D., I studied how a plasma of quarks and gluons that form at temperatures of about a million-trillion Celcius react by screening when a source of proton or pion is introduced into it.
