Biography:
Dr. George Davis is the Founder and President of Emergent Space Technologies, Inc., an aerospace engineering and software development company headquartered in Laurel, Maryland. Dr. Davis received his Ph.D. in Aerospace Engineering from the University of Texas in 1996 for his research into GPS-based precise orbit determination for low altitude geodetic and oceanographic satellites such as ICESat and GRACE. Upon graduation, he joined the Colorado Center for Astrodynamics Research at the University of Colorado as a post-doctoral research scientist. In 1997, he joined the Orbital Sciences Corporation to support the NASA Goddard Space Flight Center in GPS navigation technology development for space missions. In 2000, he took a brief hiatus from the aerospace industry and joined Appnet, an information technology company based in Laurel, MD that built websites for commercial and government clients. In 2001, he founded Emergent Space Technologies, Inc., to provide specialized engineering and research and development services to NASA, the U.S. Air Force and DARPA. Over the last 15 years, Emergent has grown to over 55 employees, with customer sites in Maryland, Virginia, New Mexico, Colorado and California. In addition, Dr. Davis serves on the University of Texas Department of Aerospace Engineering and Engineering Mechanics’ External Advisory Committee, a position he has held since 2005. In this capacity, he advises the ASE/EM department on technology, business, and hiring trends in the aerospace industry from a Small Business perspective.
