Since joining the Laboratory in 1992, Jim Davis has worked on the fabrication and design of many complex systems, including the manufacture, testing, and maintenance of field installations. Mr. Davis has been involved in the augmentation and implementation of safety operations and testing procedures. He has been instrumental in the development of data acquisition and control systems incorporating programmable logic controllers, human machine interface, and other electronic instrumentation. He has overseen the installation of small-scale and full-scale research equipment, including the construction, consulting, schedule, and feasibility studies.
