Claire Louise Davis is a British metallurgist who is Tata Steel Professor and chair in Low Energy Steel Processing at the University of Warwick. She was elected a Fellow of the Royal Academy of Engineering in 2024.
Davis was an undergraduate and postgraduate student at the University of Cambridge.[1] She was supported by Tata Steel for her studies, and spent part of her doctoral research at Nippon Steel. Her doctoral research looked at the structural properties of steel.[2]
Research and career
At Warwick, Davis develops research to improve the performance of steel, develop new steels and create new strategies to process steels.[3] Her research considers the composition-processing-structure relationships in steels. She has developed rapid alloy processing and in-line sensors to evaluate steel microstructures.[3] Davis has developed various strategies to create green steels.[4][5] This involves the use of non-metallic coatings and surface state optimisation.[4]
Alongside her research, Davis has focussed on the development of innovations in materials science education.[6]
