David Poland is an Associate Professor of Physics and Director of Undergraduate Studies at Yale University. He holds a B.S. from MIT (2004) and a Ph.D. from UC Berkeley (2008). His research focuses on developing nonperturbative methods in quantum field theory, particularly the conformal bootstrap approach to study critical phenomena, particle physics, and quantum gravity. He has held visiting positions at the Institute for Advanced Study and Caltech. His work has received recognition through awards including the NSF CAREER Award (2014) and the Arthur Greer Memorial Prize (2017). Research interests include conformal field theories (CFTs), bootstrap techniques, and their applications to condensed matter systems and beyond the Standard Model physics. He has contributed to precise predictions of critical exponents and the exploration of CFT landscapes using bootstrap constraints. His group develops numerical tools like the blocks_3d software for 3D conformal block calculations. Scholarly contributions span over 50 publications, including foundational work on the 3D Ising model and O(N) archipelago. He co-led the Simons Collaboration on the Nonperturbative Bootstrap (2016), advancing bootstrap methodologies. His advising and grants highlight collaborations in theoretical physics and computational frameworks.
