Current research focuses on mesoscopic physics, nanomechanics, and strongly-correlated electrons.
Current research topics apply QCD phenomenology to high energy hadronic interactions, spin structure of amplitudes and model-independent techniques to probe physics at the partonic level. I am also developing wavelet transform methods to extract space-time signals from data containing multiscale information. Dr. Toussaint's research involves the use of massively parallel computers to calculate some of the most fundamental quantities in high energy physics. He employs lattice gauge theory to calculate the masses and lifetimes of strongly interacting particles, the weak interactions of these particles, the behavior of nuclear matter at very high temperatures, and the structure of the electroweak interactions. Research interests are on Effective Field Theories applied to particle, nuclear, atomic, and molecular physics.
