David studied undergraduate mathematics at Durham University, obtaining an MMath in 2017, with his dissertation supervised by Pavel Tumarkin. He then moved to London to pursue a PhD at the London School of Geometry and Number Theory (LSGNT), where he was supervised by Lars Louder (UCL) and Konstanze Rietsch (King's College London), graduating in 2022. His thesis was titled ‘Nielsen equivalence of Coxeter groups; a geometric approach to group equivariant machine learning’. After a brief stint as a University Teacher in Mathematics at the University of Loughborough, he joined King’s College London as an AEP Lecturer. His research focuses on geometric group theory, particularly on Coxeter groups, actions on Coxeter Davis complexes, and combinatoric properties such as Bruhat order and Poincaré polynomials. His recent works include contributions to group invariant machine learning.
