Jeffrey Alan Davis received his B.E.E., M.S.E.E., and Ph.D. from Georgia Tech in 1993, 1997, and 1999, respectively. Dr. Davis has co-authored over 75 refereed journal, conference, and workshop publications, and his papers have been referenced over 2500 times by researchers from around the world [scholar.google.com]. He also co-authored and co-edited a book entitled Interconnect Technology and Design for Gigascale Integration, which has recently been translated into Chinese and republished in 2010. His current research interests are exploring the low-frequency electrical properties of nanocomposite materials, and in 2012-2013 he was awarded the Georgia Tech Fund for Innovation in Research and Education (GT-FIRE) for this work. The application of this technology is to develop solid-state capacitors that have extremely high-energy density for electrical energy storage. He also explores novel ways to completely replace conventional electrochemical batteries with capacitive energy storage in a variety of everyday products.
