Current directions in heavy-flavor phenomenology, effective field theory, and data-informed analysis.

Inclusive Charm Decays

Current

Analytic structure, decay widths, and electron-energy moments

My main ongoing project studies inclusive charm decays. I am interested in how decay widths and higher-order electron-energy moments can be derived with enough analytic control to support later phenomenological analysis.

This direction combines formal derivation, data processing, and comparison with experimental inputs, with the broader goal of constraining non-perturbative HQET parameters from data.

Effective-theory tools for heavy-flavor phenomenology

Heavy Quark Effective Theory and Operator Product Expansion are central tools in my work. I use them to organize high-dimensional operator effects, derive controlled approximations, and study how non-perturbative parameters may be constrained by data.

I am especially interested in the point where formal expressions become usable for phenomenology, especially in data-driven studies of inclusive charm decays.

Beauty-Charmed Baryons and Weak-Annihilation Decays

Previous and ongoing foundation

Lifetime structure and inclusive channels in heavy baryons

A second research line comes from my undergraduate thesis on beauty-charmed baryons. Using HDET and OPE, I studied weak-annihilation decay channels and their relation to lifetime structure, including the decay-width dependence on the mixing angle in the (\Xi_{bc} \to X_{cs}) channel.

This work provides a foundation for how I think about effective theory beyond a single decay process.
