Richard Stanley Williams
Williams at Brainstorm 2008
Richard Stanley "Stan" Williams (* 1951) is an American physicist in the field of nanotechnology .
Williams received a BA in chemical physics from Rice University in 1974 and a Ph.D. in physical chemistry from the University of California, Berkeley in 1978. He then worked at Bell Labs before moving to the faculty at UCLA , where he was a professor from 1990 to 1995. Williams then moved to HP Labs as director of the Information and Quantum Systems Lab . At HP, he led a group that worked on the solid state version of Leon Chuas' memristor .
Williams holds 57 patents and another 40 pending.
