  (1988 - 1990)
• FWF-project P7849-PHY, "Gitterquantenfeldtheorie bei endlichem Volumen", (1990-1994)
• FWF-project P11502-PHY, "Zweidimensionale Quantenfeldtheorie", (1996-1999)

• FWF-project M767-N08 and M870-N08, The hadronic string : Properties and mechanism of formation (Lise-Meitner Fellowship f. Dr. P. Majudar, Host: C.B. Lang)
• FWF-project I1313-N27, "Lattice QCD Study of Charmonium-like States" (2013-), jointly with Sasa Prelovsek, Ljubljana, and in cooperation with Daniel Mohler, Fermilab

I was one of the directors of the Doktoratskolleg "Hadrons in Vacuum, Nuclei and Stars", FWF Doktoratskolleg W1203-N08 (2006-2018)

I am a theoretical physicist. My interest lies in elementary particle physics and statistical physics, in particular Lattice Field Theory. I have been publishing papers on

• Gauge theories
• Real space renormalization group
• Phi⁴-theories
• Lattice QCD
• Gauge-Higgs systems
• Scattering in lattice systems
• Statistical physics problems
• Fancy actions and lattices (e.g. spherical)
• 2D models (e.g. Schwinger model)
• Random matrix theory
• Chirally improved Dirac operators

Before doing lattice field theory I had been working in S-matrix theory and in particular meson-meson scattering phenomenology.
