Cecil Whitfield Davies
Cecil Whitfield Davies ( 1895 - March 1, 1978 ) was an electrochemist who researched the behavior of electrolytes and who in 1938 set up the Davies equation named after him .
Davies studied at Aberystwyth University , where he received his M.Sc. From 1928 he worked at Battersea Polytechnic; In 1944 he returned to Aberystwyth where he became a professor at the Department of Chemistry. In 1960 he again returned to Battersea; he has held a research position at Battersea College of Technology and its subsidiary, the University of Surrey . Like the entire college, he moved to Guildford in 1969 .
