Evan Williams, Distinguished Professor of Chemistry and Biophysics at the University of California at Berkeley, will present “A Window into Molecular Complexity with Mass Spectrometry: From Physics to Chemistry to Biology and Beyond at 3:30 p.m. Wednesday, Feb. 19 in 209 Hubbard Hall.
Williams’ research aims to develop novel instrumental and computational techniques in mass spectrometry, separations, chemical imaging and laser spectroscopy for improved molecular structure elucidation, and to apply these methods to interesting chemical problems of both practical and fundamental interest. He is the faculty director of the QB3/Chemistry Mass Spectrometry Center and he holds a joint appointment in molecular biophysics and integrated bioimaging at the Lawrence Berkeley National Laboratory.
The Watkins Visiting Professorship was created in 1974 by the Watkins Foundation. This grant is now provided through the Watkins fund, a part of the Wichita State University Foundation’s endowment.
