Session: Symposium in Memory of Jeffrey Davis (Invited Talks)

Jeff Davis was an exceptional scholar with notable contributions in the areas of fluid mechanics, applied mathematics, and interfacial phenomena. During his 20 years at UMass Amherst, Davis made significant contributions to the dynamics of thin liquid films on heterogeneous surfaces, interfacial flows, hydrodynamic stability, and microscale flows involving the dynamic interaction of microparticles with nano-textured surfaces. He passed away at the age of 46 on August 30, 2023 after valiantly fighting cancer for a year, and the Department of Chemical Engineering at UMass Amherst wishes to honor him with this special session.
