Vera Guelpers is a lecturer specializing in Lattice Field Theory at the University of Edinburgh. Her research focuses on fundamental interactions in Particle Physics, particularly the strong nuclear force, which binds quarks and gluons into bound states known as hadrons. She utilizes ab-initio theoretical predictions at small energies, employing Monte Carlo methods and numerical approaches like Lattice Quantum Chromodynamics (QCD) in conjunction with large supercomputers. High-precision lattice calculations are crucial for identifying potential discrepancies between experimental measurements and theoretical predictions in the Standard Model, allowing for significant insights into new physics. Vera's recent research projects include lattice calculations related to weak decays of mesons and baryons, isospin symmetry breaking corrections, and the Lattice QCD+QED contributions to the anomalous magnetic moment of the muon. She is currently offering PhD project opportunities focused on Lattice QCD and precision tests of the Standard Model.
