Dr. Davis has more than 40 years experience in science research, both pure and applied, and 15 years experience working in and running a micro fabrication facility at CSIRO, creating micro-scale devices for research and industry. He has a strong background in both experimental and theoretical physics, including mathematical principles, experiment design and applications. He is currently an honorary professor in the School of Physics at Melbourne University. His skills include:

Theoretical physics including mathematical analysis and numerical simulation with applications in electromagnetism, optics and photonics, light-matter interactions, electron-transport, thermal physics, acoustics, x-ray science and matter waves
Broad experience in experimental physics encompassing experiment design, construction of instrumentation, experimental procedure, data acquisition and analysis. Includes design and implementation of prototype optical and x-ray systems and detectors.
Extensive experience in micro and nano fabrication methods and lithography techniques including UV photolithography, electron beam lithography, thin film deposition, analysis using scanning electron microscopy, as well as developing new micro fabrication methods for microfluidic devices, hot embossing and moulding.
A strong background in electronics design and construction, including analogue and digital electronics, microprocessor devices and interfacing. All of the above skills have been applied to the development of prototype systems such as biosensing devices, detector systems for light and x-rays, machine vision devices for tracking, optical systems for remote sensing in atmospheric physics.
Many years experience in leadership of scientific teams including multidisciplinary teams with both science and industry focus.
Project management skills applied to technical projects as well as collections of projects, including multi-disciplinary and multi-institution projects.
Many years experience in software development for both Microsoft Windows, Apple Mac and Apple iPad, with experience in programming Fortran, C, Objective C, Pascal and machine code programming including assembly language programming. Dr. Davis is a Member of the Apple Developer Program since 2012. Dr. Davis has developed software for machine vision systems, machine control, simulating electromagnetic wave interactions, optical diffraction and light-matter interactions, general numerical analysis. He currently sells software on the Apple AppStore
Excellent report writing skills and communication, including graphics, computer animation, web page design and implementation. Dr. Davis has very good presentation skills as required in giving talks to the general public, business people and academics.
