Research Topics

Res. Asst. Professor Huey-Wen Lin's research is mainly focused on applying lattice gauge theory to nonperturbative QCD problems. This includes precision calculation of low-energy nucleon matrix elements that can be used to assist in the search for TeV-scale particles, test fundamental symmetries, and compute dark-matter cross-sections. She also uses lattice gauge theory to study hadron spectroscopy, SU(3) symmetry breaking, nucleon spin structure and baryon (transition) form factors, two-photon decays, hadron-hadron interactions, and nuclear modification effects.
