David Morrissey

David Morrissey is a Research Scientist at TRIUMF and an Adjunct Professor at the University of Victoria's Department of Physics and Astronomy. His research focuses on particle physics beyond the Standard Model, including dark matter, baryogenesis, and electroweak symmetry breaking. He explores mechanisms for generating cosmic asymmetries and testing them through particle colliders and astrophysical observations.

His affiliations include TRIUMF's Theory Group and ATLAS Group. He has taught advanced courses on particle physics at institutions like the University of British Columbia and the Perimeter Institute, covering topics such as Beyond the Standard Model physics, quantum electrodynamics, and dark matter.

Key research themes include:

• Dark Matter detection strategies and theoretical models
• Collider signatures of new physics
• Electroweak baryogenesis mechanisms
• Cosmological implications of ultraviolet operators

He collaborates on projects like the SHiP experiment and contributes to workshops on dark matter direct detection. His work bridges theoretical models with experimental validation through gravitational wave studies, neutrino detectors, and cosmic observations.
