  My research deals with non-perturbative phenomena and the excited states of the strongly interacting matter. These states represent the signature of the fundamental force responsible for the most (non-dark) mass in the universe. In that, I have developed many novel methods bridging Effective Field Theories, lattice field theory, and S-matrix theory. Most recently I have been active in investigating the long-standing hadronic three-body problem in connection to phenomenology and lattice QCD. Specifically, in a series of theoretical papers we derived the long-debated three-body quantization condition together with corresponding infinite-volume formalism. Besides this I am interested in development and application of machine learning and statistics tools extracting fundamental parameters of nature.
