Since before 1982, the Director-Author has been researching, studying
and writing on issues surrounding peaceful power production in the U.S.A. Through
Ms. Davis' professional practice in both architecture and energy engineering,
as well as her graduate academic work in civil and environmental engineering, science and law, Ms. Davis has gained a thorough
and comprehensive knowledge of the scientific, engineering, physics, environmental science and law, public health risks, and
necessary public policy of America's electricity generation technologies.
As a result of the tumultuous energy crisis, which was causally-related
to the OPEC Oil Cartel slowing down production of oil in the late 1970s, the Author began her early energy studies in 1982,
as a student of architecture. Taking elective courses, Ms. Davis realized that
architecture could be designed more efficiently to conserve energy, and in accordance with the newly emerging U.S. Energy
Code of BOCA, detailed her projects pursuant to these new conservation regulations.
However, by the end of her architecture education, Ms. Davis realized
that her architecture career would need the added benefit of a Master of Energy Engineering and Science Degree. During the course of that program, Ms. Davis seriously began studying thermonuclear energy systems. Encouraged to go on for her doctorate by her professors, Ms. Davis further studied
thermonuclear energy systems and had devoted both her Masters and Ph.D. Degree Theses to the specific broad-based subject
of thermonuclear fusion energy.
Ms. Davis' Masters Degree Thesis is excerpted and presented
in VOLUME III of this Ten-Volume Monograph Series and her Ph.D. Thesis is excerpted and presented in VOLUME VIII of this Series, both of which specifically concern the actual science, engineering and technology of powerplant technology and electricity generation.
In 1993, Ms. Davis expert dissertation advisor requested that
she write a series of articles for the general public on fusion energy, the subject of many years study and her two Theses. That Series of articles has evolved into the present Ten-Volume Series of Monographs
on fusion energy, specifically written for the general publics edification and information.
Further, in 1997, having transferred into a different university
and doctoral program, the Chairperson of Ms. Davis' Engineering Department requested that she write several articles for the
professional engineering literature. In addition, Ms. Davis was asked to write
an article as to "Why Do We Need Fusion Energy?". That essay is also published in VOLUME I of the Ten-Volume Series.
By 1998, as a result of Ms. Davis' thorough study and knowledge
of thermonuclear energy systems and powerplant technology, accumulated throughout her graduate work, her Master's Thesis
became the driving force behind the establishment of The Institute For Thermonuclear Fusion Energy Education, Research
and Development, Regulation, Technology and Public Policy, abridged to "The Institute".
"The Institute" is principally responsible for the edification and education of the general public
on fusion energy, through various Other Publications by Ms. Davis, Video Presentations, Seminars, Newsletter for those who Become A Member.
