... Her research interests include the following: the microstructural evolution of the fusion- and heat-affected zones; high-temperature materials; electron microscopy; weldability and computer modeling of advanced materials; the effect of orientation on weld properties; indentation behavior of materials, particularly joining and interfacial structures; processing of alloys by cold-roll bonding; and the evaluation of contact angles of lead-free solders on copper substrates.

... Davis is manager of business development at Reaction Engineering International, a research and development consulting firm with expertise in combustion and environmental solutions, where he has led projects in combustion research and product and technology development. His efforts have included successful programs spanning a range of technical areas, including nitrogen oxide/limiting oxygen index relationships in coal-fired boilers, heterogeneous catalysis/adsorption/reaction, mineral concentrate combustion, and fluidized-bed applications.

... His responsibilities included the following: creating and managing the concrete industry's Strategic Development Council; organizing and facilitating the industry's production of a 30-year vision document, a 30-year research and development master plan, and a strategic solution document for reducing technology acceptance times; establishing the Washington office; and coauthoring a $320 million proposal for the Focused Program Area for High-Performance Concrete of the National Institute of Standards and Technology's Advanced Technology Program. Prior to that, he spent 21 years at Deere & Company, rising to the position of vice president of John Deere Technologies International and head of Deere's Washington Technology Marketing Office.

... His research interests include the following: thermodynamic stability of advanced ceramics in energy conversion systems and high-temperature processing plants; improvements in materials and protection schemes through understanding the rate-limiting reactions and local thermodynamic equilibria of the processes that control corrosion and substrate degradation; longterm reliability of advanced structural ceramics, ceramic fibers, and ceramic-ceramic composites under static or cyclic stresses at elevated temperatures in energy-usage and energy-recovery applications; and development of a design database of reliable tensile properties of commercially available materials.
