| Supercomputers are now powerful enough to allow us to precisely compute the properties of the theory of strong interactions, Quantum Chromodynamics (QCD). The graph is a recent calculation of the two pion scattering length as a function of the pion mass. Bellow, one of the suppercomputers used to perform this calculation (located at JLAB). |

Research
Our research in particle physics at the GeV scale focuses on the dynamics and phenomenology of QCD. Recent research topics include:
- Generalized parton distribution functions
- Hadron structure and
interactions from Lattice QCD
- Large NC QCD and the baryon spectrum
- Photoproduction as a probe of proton structure
- Two-photon exchange processes
- Chiral symmetry predictions for electromagnetic processes
