Dr. R. Stanley Williams joined Hewlett-Packard Laboratories in 1995 to found the Quantum Science Research group. He is now an HP Senior Fellow and Director of the Advanced Studies Laboratory, which has over 80 scientists and engineers working in areas of fundamental science and engineering of strategic interest to HP.
He was a Member of Technical Staff at AT&T Bell Labs from 1978-80 and a faculty member (Assistant, Associate and Full Professor) of the Chemistry Department at UCLA from 1980 1995. His primary scientific research during the past thirty years has been in the areas of solid-state chemistry and physics, which has led to his current research in nano-electronics and photonics and their applications to technology.
He has received awards for business, scientific and academic achievement, including the 2007 Seaborg Medal, the 2004 Joel Birnbaum Prize (the highest internal HP award for research), the 2004 Herman Bloch Medal for Industrial Research, the 2000 Julius Springer Award for Applied Physics, the 2000 Feynman Prize in Nanotechnology, and others.
He was named to the inaugural Scientific American 50 Top Technology leaders in 2002. In 2005, the US patent collection that his organization has created at HP was named the worlds top nanotechnology intellectual property portfolio by Small Times magazine. He has been awarded >60 US patents with >40 more pending and he has published >300 papers in reviewed scientific journals. One of his patents was named as one of five that will transform business and technology by MITs Technology Review in 2000.
He received his B.A. degree in Chemical Physics in 1974 from Rice University and his Ph.D. in Physical Chemistry from U. C. Berkeley in 1978.
