Overview

What is he best known for?

The fields of study he is best known for:

  • Quantum mechanics
  • General relativity
  • Quantum field theory

The scientist’s investigation covers issues in Classical mechanics, Inflation, Perturbation, Adiabatic process and Cosmology. He studies Scalar field, a branch of Classical mechanics. His study in Inflation is interdisciplinary in nature, drawing from both Field, Gaussian and Astrophysics.

His work carried out in the field of Perturbation brings together such families of science as Gravitational field, Curvaton and Quantum fluctuation. His research investigates the link between Cosmology and topics such as Gravitational wave that cross with problems in Symmetry breaking. His Inflaton study integrates concerns from other disciplines, such as Non-Gaussianity, Primordial fluctuations and Particle physics.

His most cited work include:

  • Generating the curvature perturbation without an inflaton (1226 citations)
  • Exponential potentials and cosmological scaling solutions (1058 citations)
  • False vacuum inflation with Einstein gravity (881 citations)

What are the main themes of his work throughout his whole career to date?

David Wands spends much of his time researching Classical mechanics, Astrophysics, Inflation, Cosmology and Theoretical physics. The Classical mechanics study combines topics in areas such as Adiabatic process, Perturbation and Mathematical physics. His research in Astrophysics intersects with topics in Primordial fluctuations, Non-Gaussianity, Cosmic microwave background, Observable and Bispectrum.

His Inflation research integrates issues from Field, Quantum electrodynamics and Universe. The various areas that David Wands examines in his Cosmology study include Gravitational wave, Gaussian and Gravitation. His study looks at the relationship between Theoretical physics and topics such as Dark matter, which overlap with Dark energy.

He most often published in these fields:

  • Classical mechanics (33.33%)
  • Astrophysics (33.33%)
  • Inflation (33.33%)

What were the highlights of his more recent work (between 2015-2021)?

  • Inflation (33.33%)
  • Astrophysics (33.33%)
  • Theoretical physics (19.50%)

In recent papers he was focusing on the following fields of study:

His main research concerns Inflation, Astrophysics, Theoretical physics, Field and Statistical physics. Specifically, his work in Inflation is concerned with the study of Inflaton. The concepts of his Astrophysics study are interwoven with issues in Bispectrum and Measurement uncertainty.

His work deals with themes such as Non-Gaussianity, Dark matter and Observable, which intersect with Theoretical physics. His work investigates the relationship between Field and topics such as Horizon that intersect with problems in Adiabatic process. His studies deal with areas such as Equation of state and Classical mechanics as well as Cosmology.

Between 2015 and 2021, his most popular works were:

  • Quantum diffusion during inflation and primordial black holes (92 citations)
  • Galaxy bispectrum, primordial non-Gaussianity and redshift space distortions (77 citations)
  • General relativistic weak-field limit and Newtonian N-body simulations (65 citations)

In his most recent research, the most cited papers focused on:

  • Quantum mechanics
  • General relativity
  • Quantum field theory

His primary areas of study are Statistical physics, Inflation, Non-Gaussianity, Classical mechanics and Inflaton. His Statistical physics research is multidisciplinary, incorporating perspectives in Scalar field, Quantum and Differential equation. David Wands focuses mostly in the field of Inflation, narrowing it down to topics relating to Boundary value problem and, in certain cases, Mechanics.

His Non-Gaussianity research incorporates elements of Bispectrum, Galaxy, Theoretical physics and Planck. His Classical mechanics research is multidisciplinary, incorporating elements of First-hitting-time model and Curvature perturbation. His Inflaton research focuses on Field and how it connects with Slow roll, Scalar and Minimal coupling.
