High energy physics aims at a description of matter and forces at a fundamental level. In the year 2012, the CERN Large Hadron Collider discovered the Higgs boson, which firmly established the Standard Model of particle physics as a quantum theory of the electro-weak and strong interactions of the constituents of matter. Despite its great quantitative success, this theory is incomplete since it does not describe gravitational interactions, dark matter and the matter-antimatter asymmetry in the Universe. Current and future collider experiments search for effects from "new physics" beyond the Standard Model, where precision measurements play an increasingly important role due to the non-observation of large discrepancies from the theory prediction.

Our research aims at enabling very precise theory predictions for collider observables, which are crucial to identify possible signals of new physics and to precisely determine the parameters of the Standard Model. We develop novel mathematical methods and computer codes that allow us to study quantum corrections at unprecedented precision. A main focus is on the calculation of multiloop scattering amplitudes with numerical or computer algebraic methods.
