Daniel Berkowitz

Daniel Berkowitz is a Consultant Lecturer at New York University. His research focuses on developing mathematical methods for non-perturbative quantum field theory, cosmology, and gravity. He earned his Ph.D. in 2021 from Yale University under advisors George Fleming and Vincent Moncrief.

His doctoral work extended the Quantum Finite Elements (QFE) method to three-dimensional Riemannian manifolds like the 3-sphere, enabling lattice field theory formulations on curved spaces. He also advanced the Euclidean-signature semi-classical method (ESSCM), applying it to quantum cosmological models with matter sources to prove the existence of excited state solutions in Taub models with a cosmological constant.

His contributions bridge theoretical physics and mathematical rigor, with applications in beyond-standard-model physics and quantum gravity. No scientific awards or grants are explicitly mentioned in the text.
