Sam H. Davis, Jr.

Professor Emeritus in Chemical Engineering

Research Interests:

  • Dynamics of Chemical Processes

Education:

  • B.A. (1952) Rice University
  • B.S. (1953) Rice University
  • Sc.D. (1957) Massachusetts Institute of Technology

Professor Davis has done both experimental and theoretical studies of several problems associated with atmospheric control. While these studies were supported by NASA and the US Navy, the problems have applications in general chemical processing. Experimental studies centered on the collection of multicamponent absorption and adsorption data.

Davis is also interested in computer education for engineering students and is completing texts to be used in chemical engineering, computer applications, and applied mathematics. For many years, he was the director of OWLNET, the Rice engineering computer network.
