David Callaway

David Callaway is an American physicist .

Callaway first dealt with theoretical elementary particle physics and later with biological nanophysics . He is Professor and Laboratory Director at New York University School of Medicine . In the 1980s he and Aneesur Rahman developed the method of the microcanonical ensemble in lattice theory .

From the triviality of quantum field theories with pure scalar particles, he derived bounds for the Higgs boson mass.

He investigated protein dynamics and protein folding with neutron scattering and the molecular mechanisms of Alzheimer's disease . In this context, he holds a patent for a drug based on apomorphine against beta-amyloid deposits in Alzheimer's disease. He also began studying protein dynamics with neutron spin echo spectroscopy, which opens a way to observe protein nanomachines in motion.

He is a passionate mountaineer and sailor and participated in the first ECO-Challenge in 1995 in Utah (an outdoor competition combining different disciplines that was televised).
