Research Area: Theoretical High Energy Physics

Current research is focused on lattice gauge theory and applications of the renormalization group method in field theory and particle physics. Specific topics of interest: large order behavior of  expansions,  improved perturbative methods,  finite dimensional approximations of the renormalization group transformation, triviality of scalar theory in four dimensions, upper bounds on the Higgs mass, large-N limit for sigma models.
