Biography

David Marsh obtained his undergraduate degree in Mathematical Physics from the University of Edinburgh in 2009 and completed his PhD in Theoretical Physics at the University of Oxford in 2012. He has undertaken postdoctoral research at the Perimeter Institute and held a fellowship with the Royal Astronomical Society. In 2017, he was awarded the Sofja Kowalevskaja prize by the Alexander von Humboldt Foundation, which led to a Professorship at the University of Göttingen. David returned to King's College London in 2021 as an Ernest Rutherford Fellow. His research interests focus on dark matter, particularly hypothetical axions and axion-like particles, along with cosmology and the growth of structure in the universe. He employs methods such as direct detection of axions using antiferromagnetic materials, string theory, and Bayesian statistics. His work contributes to ongoing research in particle physics, including investigations into the Standard Model and supersymmetry.
