SAN DIEGO, CA, April 23, 2021 /24-7PressRelease/ -- Dr. Simon Davis has been included in Marquis Who's Who. As in all Marquis Who's Who biographical volumes, individuals profiled are selected on the basis of current reference value. Factors such as position, noteworthy accomplishments, visibility, and prominence in a field are all taken into account during the selection process.
Dr. Davis is a physicist, mathematician and researcher celebrating more than four decades of groundbreaking theoretical and experimental work in quantum gravity. Since 2003, he has served as a researcher and the executive director of the Research Foundation of Southern California, building on several decades as a visiting faculty staff member at various institutions around the world. Dr. Davis earned an Associate of Arts at Worcester Junior College in 1978 before completing a Bachelor of Science in physics and mathematics at the State University of New York at Stony Brook in 1981. He was awarded with a scholarship to continue his studies at the University of Cambridge, and finished the Mathematical Tripos III to earn a graduate degree, the Certificate of Advanced Study in Mathematics, at Trinity College before being awarded a Doctor of Philosophy in theoretical physics at the University of Cambridge in 1986.
For the next two years, Dr. Davis distinguished himself as a NATO Postdoctoral Fellow at Harvard University. He earned distinction between 1988 and 1989 as a visiting scientist at the International Center for Theoretical Physics in Trieste, Italy, and spent the early 1990s as an academic visitor to Imperial College London, Brandeis University and the International Center for Theoretical Physics before settling at the University of Cambridge for several years. From 1996 until 2001, he served as a technical officer, tutor and research associate of the University of Sydney, where he was awarded with an honorary research fellowship in 2007. Dr. Davis continued on to the University of Potsdam, where he remained as a research fellow from 2001 until 2003, when he accepted his current role with the Research Foundation of Southern California in La Jolla.
A prolific scholar, Dr. Davis has published extensively, with work including quantum gravity, elementary particles physics, geometrical complexity and connections with mathematics. He has tutored and acted as a research associate at many academic institutions, encompassing many years of work with students at both the University of Sydney and the University of Cambridge. Well regarded in the field, Dr. Davis is the recipient of dozens of prestigious grants and awards in recognition of the advances resulting from his theoretical investigations, including the J.T. Knight Prize from the University of Cambridge, a 2001 research fellowship from the Alexander von Humboldt Foundation, fellowships from SERC and NATO, and a grant from the Australian Research Council. At some time in the future, he would hope to develop the mathematical foundations of a unified theory of the fundamental interactions of nature.
