David B. Williams Hon FRMS
Professor Williams was a 2019 recipient of the RMS Honorary Fellowship and we are pleased to finally be able to award him this in-person.
Professor Williams is synonymous with Analytical Transmission Electron Microscopy (ATEM) having pioneered its development and applications to a broad range of materials.
Over the past 45 years his work has led to a new understanding of materials and microstructural evolution, including segregation, precipitation phenomena, phase diagrams and phase transformations in metals and alloys.
Among his achievements, Professor Williams is widely recognized for his prolific research in Al alloy metallurgy – particularly in his pioneering research into Al-Li alloys, as well as fundamental research in EELS and STEM-EDX microanalysis.
Professor Williams is currently Executive Dean of the College of Engineering at The Ohio State University.
