Career
Summary
Dr.
Davis has over 30 years of experience in basic and
applied research and development involving surfaces
and interfaces related to adhesion and corrosion.
Particular areas of interest include surface
treatments, especially those improving the durability
or corrosion resistance of materials, and
nondestructive evaluation or monitoring of material
degradation. He
was one of the pioneers in using x-ray photoelectron
spectroscopy (XPS) and other surface analytical
techniques to understand the degradation of adhesive
bonds and to develop processes to improve durability.
Later, he invented of a series of corrosion
sensors that allow electrochemical impedance
spectroscopy (EIS) to be performed under ambient
conditions instead of the hitherto required immersion
conditions. These
sensors detect corrosion of painted structures and
moisture intrusion and degradation of polymeric
materials during accelerated tests and field service.
He
also helped develop the use of tobacco
extracts as an environmentally benign corrosion
inhibitor. In
addition, he has used his background in surface
analysis, electrochemistry, and materials science for
process development and failure analysis of
manufactured components and processes that enabled
improvements in reliability and yield, realization of
cost savings, and resumption of production.
Dr. Davis has been the Program Manager or Principal
Investigator of over $10 million dollars of
government and external industrial contracts.
He has given over 40 invited presentations at
several national and international conferences and
short courses and has co-authored over 185 publications,
including fifteen book chapters and two (edited)
proceedings volumes.
He has five patents.
He has served as an officer of several
professional organizations, including President of the
Adhesion Society, and has served on the editorial
boards of three major journals.
Dr.
Davis has received several awards
in recognition of his research involving the formation
and degradation of interfaces relevant to adhesion,
corrosion, and electronic devices.
His most notable awards include the Jerome
Kruger Award from NACE, the William
Blum Award from The Electrochemical Society, the
Distinguished Young Scientist of the Maryland Academy
of Sciences, the Robert L. Patrick Fellow of the
Adhesion Society, Fellow of NACE International, Fellow of the Electrochemical
Society, Fellow of ASM International, and Fellow of
the American Vacuum Society.
He is also listed in numerous biographical
Who's Who, including Who’s Who in America.
