David Tong is a professor of theoretical physics at DAMTP in Cambridge, a fellow of Trinity College, Cambridge,[1] and joint recipient of the 2008 Adams Prize.[2] He is an Adjunct Professor at the Tata Institute of Fundamental Research (TIFR).[3]

His most-cited paper, "DBI in the sky", provides a possible observational test of one mechanism for inflation in the very early universe.

He is also known amongst students for his excellent lecture notes for courses he has taught at the University of Cambridge (most notably the ones on quantum field theory).[4]
