David Meltzer

David Meltzer is a Postdoctoral Fellow specializing in Theoretical Particle Physics. His research focuses on analytical methods in conformal field theories (CFTs), including the lightcone bootstrap, four-point functions with spin, and Regge limit implications in CFTs. He earned his Ph.D. in 2018 from Yale University under advisor David Poland, with a thesis titled *Topics in the Analytic Bootstrap*. His work explores connections between anomalous dimensions and conformal collider bounds, and derives constraints for theories dual to AdS spacetimes.

**Education**:

• Ph.D. 2018, Yale University

**Research Focus**: His doctoral thesis developed novel techniques to analyze CFTs across spacetime dimensions, linking bootstrap methods to collider physics and gravitational duals. Recent efforts generalize Regge-limit studies to predict CFT spectra and refine bounds under unitarity conditions.
