Graduate Student, Teaching Asst.

Born and raised in Trinidad & Tobago, David spent his first twenty years immersed in the vibrant twin-island republic. He relocated to Washington D.C. to attend Howard University and the University of the District of Columbia, where he studied archaeology and economics, respectively. Over the next twenty-four years, he fell in love with historic records at the Library of Congress and the National Archives. His time included a three-year lab research stint at the Ohio State University in Columbus, Ohio before returning to Washington D.C. While there, he dedicated six years to public service working with the District Government as an analyst. Eventually, he moved to the University of Georgia, where he follows his love for history of science and biking through the Oconee River Greenway.

Research Interests:

David is a second-year Graduate student in history of science at the University of Georgia. His research focuses on the development of neuroscience imaging techniques during World War II and Cold War period. His work examines how these methods shaped our understanding of neural anatomy and influenced broader theories of brain function. His studies of science and scientists involve finance, economics, work identity, reward system operations and achievement. He is currently exploring the archives of pioneering scientists like Ernest Everett Just (1883-1941) and Mary Logan Reddick (1914-1966), while analyzing their experimental notebooks and correspondence.
