Trey Davis has recently received the National Science Foundation Graduate Research Fellowship Program (NSF-GRFP) award. The GRFP is a prestigious award from the National Science Foundation to those graduate students who have demonstrated the potential for significant achievements in science and engineering research. Davis was awarded partly based on his research proposal on glass-ceramic composites for high-capacity energy storage devices and related pulsed power applications.

Davis is a second-year graduate student at the University of Florida in the Department of Materials Science & Engineering, working under Juan C. Nino, Ph.D. His research focuses on energy-related materials, and he is also participating in the Florida Institute for Development of Engineering Faculty with the goal of pursuing a career in academia.
