Key research themes

1. How do fundamental field structures and modulation mechanisms explain the origin and precise properties of elementary particles in theoretical physics?

This theme explores the foundational mathematical framework and physical mechanisms underlying particle genesis from continuous fields, focusing on how modulation resonance criteria and field configurations yield discrete particle properties such as mass, charge, spin, and statistics. It addresses the century-old wave-particle duality problem through deterministic and geometrical interpretations and aims to derive fundamental constants and particle hierarchies from first principles, providing a comprehensive theoretical basis surpassing standard quantum field and particle models.

Key finding: This work establishes four precise mathematical criteria—metric compatibility, stabilization potential, source current resonance, and entropy-resolved resonance selection—defining the conditions under which undifferentiated... Read more
Key finding: Building upon particle formation principles, this paper offers exact mathematical derivations for fundamental particle properties—electron mass, charge, spin, lepton family hierarchies, and neutrino oscillations—directly from... Read more
Key finding: This thesis details the historical and theoretical development of the quark-parton model, aligning the parton description of hadrons with quarks and gluons validated by deep inelastic scattering experiments. It elucidates the... Read more

2. What are the current conceptual and ontological challenges in interpreting the Standard Model and quantum field theories with respect to particle reality and theoretical unification?

This theme investigates the foundational philosophical and conceptual issues surrounding the Standard Model's ontological commitments, contrasting interaction theories like the Standard Model with the broader quantum field theory frameworks. It addresses debates about the reality of particles versus fields, the interpretation of quantum mechanics inherited measurement problems, and the challenges in unifying quantum theory with relativity. It also reflects on evolving perceptions of what constitutes a particle given experimental constraints and theoretical limits.

Key finding: Advances a selective structural realism distinguishing between framework theories (QFT) and interaction theories (Standard Model), arguing physical ontology should be attributed more confidently to the interaction theory. It... Read more
Key finding: This article critiques the evolving conceptualization of particles in high-energy physics amidst the complete experimental confirmation of the Standard Model spectrum, highlighting the possibility that no new on-shell... Read more
Key finding: Provides a comprehensive overview of experimental and theoretical challenges post-LHC, emphasizing the determination of Standard Model parameters, neutrino oscillation phenomenology with implications of mass hierarchies and... Read more

3. How can quantum physics education be designed to effectively integrate Nature of Science (NOS) concepts and address the challenges of teaching foundational quantum mechanics at the secondary school level?

This theme focuses on physics education research analyzing secondary curricula internationally to identify core quantum physics topics taught and how NOS concepts—such as the role of uncertainty, probabilistic nature, and epistemological aspects—are integrated. It studies curricular differences in presenting quantum theory to improve student comprehension and proposes teaching resources that connect conceptual quantum phenomena with NOS to bridge gaps in physics instruction that prepare students for modern scientific thinking.

Key finding: By analyzing official curriculum documents from fifteen countries, this research identifies a core international quantum physics curriculum composed of seven key topics including discrete energy levels, wave-particle duality,... Read more

The golden ring to which most physicists aspire is a unified field theory that incorporates all of modern and classical physics. Some scientists and others call this a TOE or ‘theory of everything’, but it is no more than false hubris to... more

In this paper we provide an accurate bound on tensor-to-scalar ratio (r) for class of models where inflation always occurs below the Planck scale, and the field displacement during inflation remains sub-Planckian.
This paper proposes an M-theory(MT)-derived special type of bijective particle (toy-)theory (BPT), in which each type geometric/topological entity (brane) is assigned one and only one type of physical particle and vice versa. BPT is... more
