David Robert Morrison (born July 29, 1955, in Oakland, California) is an American mathematician and theoretical physicist. He works on string theory and algebraic geometry, especially its relations to theoretical physics. Although Morrison began his career as a mathematician in classical algebraic geometry, in his later career he has also been a string theorist. He works on the interfaces and mutual fertilization of algebraic geometry and string theory, especially mirror symmetry. He is a co-editor of selected works of his thesis supervisor Phillip Griffiths.

  • David Robert Morrison (born July 29, 1955, in Oakland, California) is an American mathematician and theoretical physicist. He works on string theory and algebraic geometry, especially its relations to theoretical physics. Morrison studied at Princeton University with bachelor's degree in 1976 and at Harvard University with master's degree in 1977 and PhD under Phillip Griffiths in 1980 with thesis Semistable Degenerations of Enriques' and Hyperelliptic Surfaces. From 1980 he was an instructor and from 1982 an assistant professor at Princeton University and in the academic year 1984–1985 a visiting scientist at the University of Kyoto (as Fellow der Japan Society for the Promotion of Science). In 1986 he became an associate professor and in 1992 a professor of mathematics at Duke University and then in 1997 "James B. Duke Professor of Mathematics and Physics". While at Duke, Morrison advised multiple PhD students, including Antonella Grassi and Carina Curto. Since 2006 he has been a professor at the University of California, Santa Barbara. Although Morrison began his career as a mathematician in classical algebraic geometry, in his later career he has also been a string theorist. He works on the interfaces and mutual fertilization of algebraic geometry and string theory, especially mirror symmetry. In 1992–1993, 1996–1997 and 2000 he was at the Institute for Advanced Study. In 1995 he was a visiting professor at Cornell University, in 2005 at the Kavli Institute for Theoretical Physics, and in 2006 a research professor at MSRI. In 2015 he became a member of the American Academy of Arts and Sciences, in 2013 a Fellow of the American Mathematical Society, in 2005 a Senior Scholar at the Clay Mathematics Institute and in 2005–2006 a Guggenheim Fellow. He is a co-editor of selected works of his thesis supervisor Phillip Griffiths. Morrison was an invited speaker at the International Congress of Mathematicians in Zürich in 1994 (Mirror Symmetry and Moduli Spaces of Superconformal Field Theories). (en)
  • David Robert Morrison (Oakland, Califórnia, 29 de julho de 1955) é um matemático e físico teórico estadunidense. Trabalha em teoria das cordas e geometria algébrica, especialmente suas relações com a física teórica. Morrison estudou na Universidade de Princeton com bacharelado em 1976 e na Universidade Harvard com mestrado em 1977 e PhD em 1980, orientado por Phillip Griffiths, com a tese Semistable Degenerations of Enriques' and Hyperelliptic Surfaces. A partir de 1980 foi instrutor e desde 1982 professor assistente na Universidade de Princeton e no ano letivo de 1984-1985 cientista visitante na Universidade de Quioto (como fellow da Japan Society for the Promotion of Science). Em 1986 tornou-se professor associado e em 1992 professor de matemática na Universidade Duke e depois em 1997 "James B. Duke Professor of Mathematics and Physics". Enquanto na Duke, Morrison orientou vários estudantes de doutorado, incluindo e . Desde 2006 é professor na Universidade da Califórnia em Santa Bárbara. Embora Morrison tenha começado sua carreira como matemático em geometria algébrica clássica, em sua carreira posterior também foi um teórico das cordas. Trabalha nas interfaces e fertilização mútua da geometria algébrica e da teoria das cordas, especialmente simetria especular. Em 1992-1993, 1996-1997 e 2000 esteve no Instituto de Estudos Avançados de Princeton. Em 1995 foi professor visitante na Universidade Cornell, em 2005 no Kavli Institute for Theoretical Physics, e em 2006 foi professor pesquisador no Mathematical Sciences Research Institute (MSRI). Em 2015 tornou-se membro da Academia de Artes e Ciências dos Estados Unidos, em 2013 fellow da American Mathematical Society, em 2005 Senior Scholar no Clay Mathematics Institute, e em 2005-2006 Guggenheim Fellow. É co-editor dos trabalhos selecionados de seu orientador de tese Phillip Griffiths. Foi palestrante convidado do Congresso Internacional de Matemáticos em Zurique (1994: Mirror Symmetry and Moduli Spaces of Superconformal Field Theories). (pt)
