Research Interest

Dr. Williams’ research is focused primarily in the Electromechanical Engineering, Optics, and Materials Science.  He uses lithographic and electrochemical techniques to pattern polymers, metals and glasses for the development of mechanical, optical, or fluidic devices.  This fabrication process, commonly known as LIGA, uses any number of different lithographic light sources and electrochemical baths, requiring a solid understanding of materials science to accurately design and model and test the performance of these devices.
