David E. Kaplan is a Professor of Physics and Astronomy at Johns Hopkins University, where he has been a faculty member since 2002. He holds a PhD from the University of Washington (1999) and completed postdoctoral research at the University of Chicago/Argonne National Lab and SLAC. His research focuses on theoretical extensions of the Standard Model of particle physics and cosmology, with emphasis on dark matter, axions, quantum gravity, and experimental probes of fundamental physics. Notably, he created and produced Particle Fever, a documentary film awarded the DuPont Journalism Award.
Key research interests include exploring new physics beyond the Standard Model, such as models addressing the strong CP problem, probing dark matter interactions via atom interferometry and spin precession, and studying cosmological implications of gravitational theories. He is a Fellow of the American Physical Society (APS), a DOE Outstanding Junior Investigator, Kavli Frontiers Fellow, and Alfred P. Sloan Fellow.
His work integrates theoretical frameworks with experimental efforts, such as collaborations at SQMS (Quantum Sensing) and proposals for next-generation experiments like GALILEO (Galactic axion laser interferometer). His recent articles address topics ranging from nonlinear quantum mechanics to gravitational wave detection and cosmological constant relaxation.
