Research Focus

Dr. Schindler’s research focuses on fundamental symmetries at the intersection of particle and
nuclear physics. One of the most important goals of nuclear physics is a better understanding of
how quarks and gluons form nucleons. Miniscule symmetry breakings can provide unique probes
of our understanding of how quarks behave inside a nucleon. Dr. Schindler uses modern
theoretical tools such as effective field theories to guide, analyze, and interpret ongoing
experimental efforts aimed at mapping out these fundamental symmetry violations.
