David James Edward Callaway is affiliated with the Department of Chemistry and Biochemistry of the City University of New York. ^[1]

Callaway's laboratory published about potential therapeutics for Alzheimer's disease based upon apomorphine ^[2] and models of Alzheimer amyloid formation. ^[3] He has also studied protein domain dynamics ^{[4] [5]} by neutron spin echo spectroscopy, providing a way to observe protein nanomachines in motion. ^{[6] [7]}

Previous work includes the invention of the microcanonical ensemble approach to lattice gauge theory with Aneesur Rahman, ^{[8] [9] [10] : 97  [11] : 1027  [12]} work on the convexity of the effective potential of quantum field theory, ^[13] work on Langevin dynamics in quantum field theory with John R. Klauder, ^[14] a monograph on quantum triviality, ^[15] constraints on the Higgs boson ^[16] and papers on black holes ^[17] and superconductors. ^[18]

Callaway completed his PhD in 1981 from the University of Washington. ^[19] In 1981 he was on the High Energy Physics staff at Argonne National Laboratory ^[20] In 1995 he was an associate professor of physics at Rockefeller University ^[21] Callaway's work on quantum triviality, was cited as a key review ^{[22] [23]} during the search for the Higgs boson.
