Dr. David Luke is an esteemed Associate Professor of Psychology at the University of Greenwich123. Known for his pioneering work in the field of psychedelic phenomenology, he has dedicated his career to exploring transpersonal experiences, anomalous phenomena, and altered states of consciousness123.
His research primarily focuses on the effects of psychedelics, with a particular emphasis on DMT (Dimethyltryptamine), a powerful psychoactive compound. He has published more than 100 academic papers in this area, contributing significantly to our understanding of these substances and their impact on human consciousness123.
One of Dr. Luke’s most notable works is his research on DMT entity encounters. His systematic and in-depth analysis of these otherworldly experiences has provided valuable insights into the nature of consciousness and reality.

Dr. Luke’s work extends beyond the confines of the laboratory. He has studied techniques of consciousness alteration from South America to India, from the perspective of scientists, shamans, and Shivaites. His multi-disciplinary approach to studying altered states and exceptional human experiences embraces the full scope of empirical science, be it experimental or experiential, objective, personal, or transpersonal.
