David studied mathematics at the University of Alberta. After several years working on the design of particle accelerator projects in the US, UK, France, and Canada, he returned to study mathematics at Oxford University. The topic of his doctoral thesis was predictability of nonlinear systems, with applications to weather forecasting. This research formed the basis for his first book, Apollo's Arrow. David has since worked at University College London, the Institute for Systems Biology in Seattle, and the Oxford-based company Physiomics (where he now serves on the Scientific Advisory Board). Software inventions include the Physiomics Virtual Tumour which is used to predict the effect of anti-cancer treatments on growing tumours.
