This project studies multi-loop Feynman integrals through the lens of the theories of mixed Hodge strucures and twisted de Rham cohomology groups. The aim is to develop novel and powerful computational techniques that can be used to derive and solve systems of differential equations satisfied by Feynman integrals that go beyond the current state-of-the-art. The techniques will be applied to a phenomenological relevant case: Two-loop electro-weak corrections to Møller scattering.
