Abstract
Stephen H. Davis (1939–2021) was an applied mathematician, fluid dynamicist, and materials scientist who lead the field in his contributions to interfacial dynamics, thermal convection, thin films, and solidification for over 50 years. Here, we briefly review his personal and professional life and some of his most significant contributions to the field.
