He completed his PhD in Psychology at the University of Waterloo under the supervision of Dr. Colin Ellard and holds a Bachelors in Neuroscience from McGill University.

Examples include developing a data-driven methodology to measure liveability in inner-city communities, conducting user evaluations of aging-in-place laneway housing, and conducting mock-up evaluations of a universal operating room design for the Vancouver General Hospital. In addition to his research work, David also writes theory articles that combine recent insights from philosophy, cognitive science, and neuroscience with contemporary discourses in architecture to better account for the profound effects space has on thought. His writing has appeared in Aeon, Psyche, and the blog of the Journal of the History of Ideas.
