Christine Tullis Hunter Davies (born 1959)[1] OBE FRSE FInstP is a Professor of Physics at the University of Glasgow.[2][3][4][5][6][7]

Education

Davies was educated Colchester County High School for Girls and the University of Cambridge where she was an undergraduate student of Churchill College, Cambridge.[1] She was awarded a Bachelor of Arts (BA) degree in 1981 in physics with theoretical physics[5] followed by a PhD in 1984 for research on quantum chromodynamics (QCD) and the Drell–Yan process[8] while working in the Cavendish Laboratory in Cambridge.[9]

Research and career

Davies research investigates the strong interaction and the solution of quantum chromodynamics using a numerical method known as Lattice QCD.[10][11]

During her career she has held academic appointments at the University of Glasgow, CERN, Cornell University,[3] Ohio State University and the University of California at Santa Barbara.[5][6] Her research has been funded by the Science and Technology Facilities Council (STFC),[12] the Particle Physics and Astronomy Research Council (PPARC),[5] the Leverhulme Trust, Royal Society and the Fulbright Program.[1]

She chairs the project management board for the Distributed Research utilising Advanced Computing (DiRAC) High Performance Computing (HPC) facility, is a member of the STFC particle physics advisory panel[9] and serves as an external examiner for the School of Physics and Astronomy at the University of Manchester.[6]

Awards and honours

She was appointed Order of the British Empire (OBE) in the 2006 Birthday Honours for services to science,[13] elected a Fellow of the Royal Society of Edinburgh (FRSE) in 2001 and has been a Fellow of the Institute of Physics (FInstP) since 1988.[1] She was awarded the Rosalind Franklin Award in 2005[1] and a Royal Society Wolfson Research Merit Award in 2012.[1]
