Research

I am a second-year PhD student working under Prof. Adam Szczepaniak within the JPAC Collaboration at Indiana University Bloomington. My research sits at the intersection of hadronic amplitude analysis and Regge phenomenology, with a focus on understanding the spectrum of light mesons — particularly exotic states that do not fit the conventional quark model. I use dispersion relations, finite energy sum rules, and coupled-channel amplitude methods, complemented by machine learning for pole localization. Before coming to IU, I completed a B.S. in Physics and a B.S. in Mathematics at the University of Barcelona (2023, 2024), where my thesis applied finite energy sum rules and Regge theory to $\eta^{(\prime)}\pi$ scattering — a thread I have continued and expanded in my PhD work. I passed the PhD Qualifying Examination in August 2025.
