Ben Williams is an Assistant Professor in the Department of Chemistry & Biochemistry at the University of North Florida. He aims to create new catalysts with defined structure on the atomic scale could lay the foundation for the next generation of green catalysts. He completed his Ph.D. at Boston College with Prof. Frank Tsung, where his research focused on the synthesis of size-, shape-, and composition-controlled nanoparticles for electrocatalysis. After graduation, he joined the group of Prof. Dunwei Wang, where his postdoctoral research took two main directions: the synthesis of artificial solid-electrolyte interphase materials for the fundamental study of ionic transport in lithium metal batteries and the use of (surface-enhanced) infrared techniques to identify water oxidation intermediates.
