-Development of a Lorentz-covariant and gauge-invariant field-theoretical framework for the study of light, single, double, and triple heavy baryons
-Development of the QCD + QED framework for the study of hadronic atoms
-Development of a quantum field theory approach for the study of hadronic molecules
-Development of the AdS/QCD approximation for the study of mesons, baryons, and exotic states.
