David J E Callaway

David J E Callaway is a biological nanophysicist in the New York University School of Medicine, where he is Professor and Laboratory Director. He was trained as a theoretical physicist by Richard Feynman and Cosmas Zachos, and was previously Associate Professor at Rockefeller University. He has published papers on topics including black holes, superconductors, and protein chemistry. A recent focus of Callaway's laboratory is Alzheimer's disease, with research aimed at the development and patenting of new therapeutics [H. A. Lashuel, D. M. Hartley, D. Balakhaneh, A. Aggarwal, S. Teichberg, D.J.E. Callaway.
J. Biol. Chem, (2002) 277,42881-42890] . An earlier paper of his on this , [Tjernberg, L.O., Callaway, D.J.E., Tjernberg, A., Hahne, S., Lilliehöök, C., Terenius, L., Thyberg, J., Nordstedt, C. "A molecular model of Alzheimer amyloid β-peptide fibril formation" (1999) Journal of Biological Chemistry, 274 (18), pp. 12619-12625.] has been cited Cited 166 times in the Scopus database.

He has also initiated [Bu Z, Biehl R, Monkenbusch M, Richter D, D.J.E. Callaway
Proc Nat Acad Sci 102,17646-17651(2005)] the study of protein domain dynamics by neutron spin echo spectroscopy, providing a way to observe protein nanomachines in motion.

Previous work includes the invention of the
microcanonical ensemble approach to lattice gauge theorywith Aneesur Rahman [D. J. E. Callaway and A. Rahman,
Phys. Rev. Lett. 49, 613-616 (1982)] , work on the convexity of the effectivepotential of quantum field theory [D. J. E. Callaway and D. J. Maloof
Phys. Rev D27 (1983), 406] ,work on Langevin dynamicswith John R. Klauder [D.J.E. Callaway, F. Cooper, J. R. Klauder, H. Rose Nucl.Phys.B262:19,1985] , and a review [D.J.E. Callaway, Phys. Reports 167 (1988), 241-320 "Triviality Pursuit: Can Elementary Scalar Particles Exist?"] discussing the question whether an elementary scalar Higgs boson can exist-- cited over 120 times in the HEP database. Another paper of his on this general topic [D.J.E. Callaway, Phys. Reports e Nucl.Phys.B 233:189,1984."Nontriviality Of Gauge Theories With Elementary Scalars And Upper Bounds On Higgs Masses?"] has been cited over 100 times in that database as well. Callaway is an avid expedition mountaineer and polar explorer.
