Biography
Dr. Steven Davis is Professor of Chemistry & Biochemistry at The University of Mississippi. He has done his B.S. from James Madison University, Ph.D. from University of Virginia and National Research Council Postdoctoral Fellow in Naval Research Laboratory. He is current research focuses on 1) Reaction of oxygen atoms with small organic molecules on the singlet and triplet electronic surfaces. 2) Hydrocarbon isomerizations and strain energies of small ring systems which incorporate trans double bonds on the reaction surface.
