Biography

Professor Peter Williams was appointed Foundation Professor in Chemistry at the University of Western Sydney Nepean in 1991 and was Dean of the Faculty of Science and Technology from 1994 to 1997. Prior to that, Pete was Reader in Chemistry of the University of Wales at University College Cardiff, where he spent 16 years upon completion of postgraduate studies at Macquarie University in Sydney, Australia. He has formal academic qualifications in both chemistry and geology, including a PhD in X-ray crystallography.
