+ <p class = "a"> My PhD research under <a href="https://phys.nmsu.edu/facultydirectory/engelhardt_michael.html" target="_blank">Dr. Michael Engelhardt</a> (NMSU) focuses on lattice quantum chromodynamics (QCD), which is based on Markov chain Monte Carlo simulations of discretized space-time fields. In particular, I work on calculating Transverse Momentum Dependent Parton Distribution Functions (TMDs) such as generalized Sivers shift, which represents the average transverse momentum of unpolarized quarks orthogonal to the transverse spin of the proton. I analyze the dependence of Sivers TMDs on the longitudinal momentum fraction of the quark by placing the Wilson gauge link in various off-axis directions on the lattice simulations. The analysis also utilizes <em>PySR</em> symbolic regression, a machine learning (<em>ML</em>) technique, to extract analytical functions from the lattice data.</p>
