Petriello pursues a research program in precision QCD in order to improve the Standard Model predictions for important hadron collider observables and their backgrounds.
Biography
In the course of pursuing these goals he has developed novel theoretical and numerical techniques with broad applicability across numerous subfields of physics. A second goal of his work is the development of new strategies to search for and study new physics at the Large Hadron Collider and in other experiments. His work is supported by the Department of Energy and the National Science Foundation.
