Theory and Application of Chiral Anomalies in Quantum Field Theory
An investigation of the emergence of chiral anomalies in quantum field theories, as well as their implications for physical observables. Derives the U(1) axial anomaly via the path integral formalism and applies the result to calculate the lifetime of the η′ meson to within 2σ of experimental values reported by the Particle Data Group.

An operations research (OR) model using mixed-integer linear programming for maximizing data volume and quality in data collection for autonomous systems. Introduces a quality-scaled rate metric that jointly optimizes for operator speed and accuracy, yielding a 63% improvement over random assignment and 13% over the best greedy heuristic across 10,000 Monte Carlo simulations.

A search for signatures of Charge-Parity (CP) violation imprinted on primordial extragalactic magnetic fields using 10 years of Fermi-LAT gamma-ray data. Constructs a parity-odd correlator from gamma-ray triplets to probe magnetic helicity via AGN-sourced cascades, with statistical significance assessed through 500 Monte Carlo simulations. Reports a null result at 95% containment, constraining prior claims of a left-handed signal.
