Current Research:

My main research activity is related to quarkonium production phenomenology. The aim of this work is to gain a better understanding of the description of quarkonium production by confronting theoretical observables to data. In particular, I have examined the prospect of measuring of inclusive quarkonium production at the LHC, which would extend the kinematics and precision of the quarkonium dataset. Such a measurement should help to further constrain the theoretical description of the quarkonium production mechanism. Additionally, I am interested in the large pT production via fragmentation and am currently investigating this topic.
