Professor Davis' research is in the area of applied and computational
mathematics with a particular interest in Sensitivity Analysis. The
main focus of her current research is the construction and implementation
of Continuous Sensitivity Equation Methods which are applied to elliptic
partial differential equations. She is the Principal Investigator
of an AFOSR grant to use techniques of sensitivity analysis for the
optimal design of sensors and actuators for flight control of micro
air vehicles.
She is a coauthor on a SIAM Frontiers publication entitled
Design Sensitivity Analysis: Computational Issues of Sensitivity
Equation Methods. She received her degree from Virginia Polytechnic
Institute and State University (Virginia Tech) in Summer 1999. Dr.
Davis has published several proceedings papers, and an article describing
some of her research has appeared
in the journal Numerical Functional Analysis and
Optimization. For a more detailed description of her professional
activities, visit the Professional Info section of her Personal Home Page.
