Christina M. Davis

Christina M. Davis serves as a Lecturer in the Department of Chemistry at Valparaiso University, where she contributes to both teaching and research in organic and supramolecular chemistry disciplines.

Educational background:

• Ph.D. in Organic Chemistry – University of Texas (2014)
• B.S. – College of William and Mary (2010)

Her research program centers on supramolecular recognition systems and photoresponsive materials, with particular focus on tetrathiafulvalene-calix[4]pyrrole architectures. Current investigations examine ion-regulated binding of fullerenes, photoinduced electron transfer in porphyrin-containing ensembles, and fluorescence modulation in photochromic nanoparticle systems. This work bridges synthetic organic chemistry with photophysical characterization to develop stimuli-responsive molecular devices.

Publication analysis reveals consistent output in high-impact chemistry journals between 2011-2014, demonstrating expertise at the intersection of organic synthesis, nanomaterials, and photophysics. Her research shows particular strength in designing supramolecular systems with tunable electronic properties for potential sensing applications.
