DESCRIPTION:Our understanding of the structure of matter\, encapsulated in
  the Standard Model of particle physics\, is that protons\, neutrons\, and
  nuclei emerge dynamically from the interactions of underlying quark and g
 luon degrees of freedom. I will describe how first-principles theory calcu
 lations have given us new insights into this structure\, including recent 
 predictions of the contributions of gluons to the pressure and shear distr
 ibutions in the proton\, which will be measurable for the first time at th
 e planned Electron-Ion Collider. I will also discuss studies of light nucl
 ei which provide insights relevant to long-baseline neutrino experiments s
 eeking to constrain the neutrino masses and mixing parameters\, searches f
 or evidence of the Majorana nature of neutrinos through neutrinoless doubl
 e beta decay\, and dark matter direct detection experiments. Finally\, I w
 ill explain how provably exact machine learning algorithms are providing n
 ew possibilities in this field.
