In 1982 while studying architecture, Ms. Davis began researching and studying many types of alternate energy
systems as well as thermonuclear powerplant systems, the socio-economic and the political aspects of electricity generation
and national policy.
In 1987 - 1989, while researching for her Master of Engineering thesis, Ms. Davis began studying scholarly
literature in thermonuclear fusion and fission power systems as well as the attendant environmental destruction, utility
generation, end-user, regulatory, sustainability and "Cold War" public policy challenges of energy production.
The peer-reviewed literature indicated a crucial need to establish a public venue for research and public education
in energy and environmental issues germane to thermonuclear power generation.
In 1989, that conclusion derived and identified public need became the theme of Ms.
Davis' Master's Thesis as well as the establishment in late 1989 of The International Institute For Thermonuclear Fusion
Energy Education R&D Regulation Technology and Public Policy , Ms. Davis' brainchild. Major excerpts may be read
in Volume III of the adult's Series.
In 1989, while practicing energy and environmental engineering, Ms. Davis was urged to continue
her graduate studies and immediately began work on her doctoral dissertation in 1989-1990 on thermonuclear fusion energy powerplant
systems. Major excerpts of that dissertation may be read in Volume VIII of the Series.
In 1992 - 93, while practicing energy engineering and studying as a doctoral student, Ms. Davis was asked
by her expert dissertation advisor to write a series of articles on her area of research expertise: thermonuclear fusion energy
for the general public in "plain English". The request was made of Ms. Davis because the general public knew very
little about "hot" fusion as the majority of published peer-reviewed articles required advanced scientific
knowledge to understand.
Throughout 1992 - 1997, wiritng those original eleven articles formed the platform for the present
day twelve book adult series that developed between 1997 - 2004. That series is published under the major title
of FUSION ENERGY ~ THE PUBLIC'S GUIDE.
The books and films, seminars, lectures, introductory video, and Member's Newsletter are provided as a public service to anyone of the worldwide general public who wishes to learn about thermonuclear fusion
energy and the attendant environmental destruction, global warming and climate change, loss of species, genetic aberrations
in humans and mamals, terminal illnesses and public health risks we are facing as we remain dependent on fossil fuels.
While Ms. Davis continues to practice professionally and serves on a number of sub-committees for The American
Society of Testing Materials (ASTM) in thermonuclear energy fuels, materials nad system processes, she also gives lectures
and seminars, teaches at the graduate college level of engineering and architecture in professional practice and is the author
of 18 other monographs on matters pertaining to energy engineering, architecture, design and professional practice. Presently,
Ms. Davis is a professor in the graduate school of engineering and teaches a unique course called "Advanced Thermonuclear
Design and Radwaste Management." The course entails the environemtnal science issues and thermonuclear fission and fusion
physics and technology.
For the good of the whole, Ms. Davis has given a great deal of thought, care and taken
extraordinary effort in preparing high-quality educational materials as reader-friendly aides that will enlighten
as well as make relaxation time enjoyable for anyone who wants to be a well informed member of the general electorate.
