(Biography from 1977) Boyd Davis completed his undergraduate degree in engineering chemistry and masters and Ph.D. in metallurgical engineering at Queen’s University. He began consulting in computational thermochemistry and then founded Kingston Process Metallurgy Inc. with Alain Roy in 2002. The company provides chemical process development for clients around the world and integrates lab and pilot work with economic and technical feasibility. It also runs an accelerator for start-up companies in the chem tech space.
