Stella Schindler

My central research focus is quantum chromodynamics (QCD), a mathematical theory describing quarks and gluons, which are the building blocks of everyday particles like protons and neutrons. I develop new analytic and numerical techniques that enable physicists to analyze previously inaccessible regimes of QCD. Much of my work is interdisciplinary, bridging frameworks from particle physics, nuclear physics, optics, and condensed matter to advance our understanding across these fields. 

Currently, I am a Hoffman Distinguished Postdoctoral Fellow at Los Alamos National Laboratory. There, my advisor is Chris Lee in the experimental Physics Division P-3 and formerly Theoretical Division T-2. I am also a long-term visitor at Harvard, hosted by the high energy theory and artificial intelligence (AI) group of Matt Schwartz, and I am a regular at the MIT CTP-LI.
