Matthew Davies

Matthew Davies is professor of Mechanical Engineering at the University of North Carolina at Charlotte, where his research focuses on manufacturing science and precision machining. Davies earned his undergraduate degree from Carnegie Mellon University before completing his Ph.D. in aerospace engineering at Cornell University, where his fellowship began in 1988. His research investigates the thermomechanics of metal cutting, the dynamics of machining processes, and the development of predictive models for manufacturing quality—work that bridges fundamental mechanics with industrial manufacturing practice.
