★ David J. E. Callaway is a biological nanophysicist. He is Professor and Laboratory Director. Dr Callaway has worked extensively in the field of Alzheimer's disease, specifically in understanding and controlling amyloid formation. His Alzheimer's program has developed and patented several potent new therapeutics for Alzheimer's disease, based upon apomorphine. Dr Callaway initiated the study of protein domain dynamics by neutron spin echo spectroscopy, allowing the direct observation of protein nanomachinery in motion. Protein dynamics underlies the physics of cancer and other phenomena (like long-range allostery) essential for addressing human disease. It is also a cornerstone of synthetic biology.
Earlier work of his involved the invention (with Aneesur Rahman ) of the microcanonical ensemble approach to lattice gauge theory, which significantly increased computational efficiency in the numerical simulation of quantum field theories. Other work showed that quantum triviality provided new constraints on the Higgs boson, such as a bounded or predictable Higgs mass. Professor Callaway later published a well-cited monograph on the subject. He has also shown a direct connection between black hole entropy and liquid surface tension. He also reformulated the Laughlin model of the fractional statistics quantum Hall effect using random matrix theory, affording a connection to geometric models of string theory, and showed that the superconducting intermediate state allowed a direct view of a quantum phase space.
