An Oxford-trained scientist turned television personality and actor, David Lowe transforms complex subjects into accessible, lively and often funny experiences. Science, experimentation, British humour and stagecraft make him a rare profile who can explain as effectively as he captivates.
Physicist, actor, musician and presenter, David Lowe turns science into a show without ever compromising on rigour, making complex subjects accessible, lively and memorable.
Trained in physics and philosophy at Oxford, David Lowe holds a PhD in nuclear physics. He worked in research at the Royal Marsden Hospital in London, where his work included helping to develop a dosimeter used in oncology, before steering his career towards theatre, film, music, radio and television.
French audiences discovered him on France 5 in On n'est pas que des Cobayes !. Experiments, challenges, humour and demonstrations all become ways for him to explain mechanics, energy, aerodynamics, chemistry and biology. His approach: let people experience science rather than simply hear about it.
Actor, musician, author and presenter, David Lowe is thoroughly at ease on stage. He can improvise, tell stories, make people laugh and, above all, make complex subjects understandable without watering them down. His artistic work also continues in film, notably with his appearance in the American feature Crystal Cross.
His dual profile as a scientist and stage performer is particularly well suited to technical, scientific and technology events. David Lowe can understand an expert, rephrase a complex idea, challenge a speaker and build bridges with the audience. A rare ability that brings pace and clarity to conferences, panel discussions and conventions.
Understand. Experiment. Be amazed.
David Lowe turns science and complex topics into lively, accessible and memorable experiences by combining rigour, experimentation, British humour and stage presence.
Intelligence does not have to be boring to be profound.
Science can seem abstract, intimidating or reserved for experts. David Lowe takes exactly the opposite approach. Through experiments, anecdotes and British humour, he shows how surprise and laughter can become powerful gateways to knowledge.
Observe. Question. Test. Fail. Try again.
Science is not only a body of knowledge. It is a way of thinking. David Lowe shows how observation, hypotheses, experimentation and the right to be wrong help us move forward into the unknown.
Make the complex simple without making it simplistic.
How do you explain a complex subject to someone who does not share your expertise? David Lowe draws on twenty years across science, television, stage and communication. A particularly useful session for anyone who needs to make complex ideas understood.
Great ideas rarely emerge from the first attempt.
Observe. Imagine. Test. Fail. Adjust. Try again. Drawing on scientific research and experiments created for television, David Lowe shows why experimentation is one of the essential engines of innovation.
What if a career did not have to follow a straight line?
Nuclear physics researcher, then actor, musician, presenter and science communicator… David Lowe embodies a career shaped by curiosity rather than by a fixed career plan.
What if the conference became a live scientific experiment?
On-stage experiments, demonstrations, humor and audience interaction: David Lowe brings back the spirit of the Cobayes and turns the room into a laboratory. A spectacular format to learn by experimenting and create a genuine shared memory.
Elegance, humour and a strong sense of rhythm.
David Lowe is particularly well suited to international events bringing together experts, engineers, scientists or executives. He can introduce speakers, rephrase complex topics, energise panel discussions, improvise, create smooth transitions and keep the pace going with humour. His major asset: he genuinely understands the topics he moderates.
David Lowe speaks at the key moments where people, performance and impact matter.
