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 interna-tional con-ferences and short courses and

has co-authored over 185 publi-cations, 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.
