Dr. Williams received his Ph.D. at Purdue University under the advisement of Dr. Steven Wereley while being supported by a National Science Foundation Graduate Research Fellowship. Dr. Williams’ work in microscale electrokinetics and colloid self-assembly has received multiple awards including the Young Researcher Poster Award (MicroTAS 2008), highlighted in the Journal of Micromechanics and Microelectronics (IOPSelect, 2010), and featured on the cover of various technical journals (Lab on a Chip #13 2011; Electrophoresis #13 2013, #15 2015, #11 2017; Biotechnology and Bioengineering #6 2016). Dr. Williams’ ongoing research activities include colloid self-assembly investigations on the International Space Station (NASA NNX14AN28A) and developing a microfluidic electrokinetic platform for impedance analysis of single cells (NSF 1550509).
