My main interests are the major topic of QuantumChromoDynamics and the minor topic of surf physics.

In hadronic physics most of my works are devoted to:

- chiral symmetry breaking: the vacuum and replicas; hadron spectra as quark boundstates and resonances, microscopic hadron interactions,

- exotica: tetraquarks, pentaquarks, hybrids and glueballs,

- confinement: superconductivity, the pomeron, string theory, the phases of QCD.

- lattice QCD: static potentials, flux tubes, both with pure gauge and with dynamical fermions.


In applied physics to surf technology my main efforts are in,

- saving waves endangered by see walls or jetties;

- artificial reefs for surfing.
