Tedeschi, David John

Professor

My current research is focused on understanding the dynamical structure of the proton. In the naive quark model, the proton consists of 3 quarks (uud). However, the proton is not a static object, but a continually changing one. Depending on how one probes the proton, strange quark-antiquark pairs and gluons can contribute to its observed properties.
