William Morris

William leads the chemistry team, carrying out a wide range of research and development tasks in the area of gas storage, separations, and catalysis, identifying porous materials for applications and evaluating product feasibility. He is also engaged in several strategic partnerships with government and industry sponsors. Prior to NuMat, William completed his Ph.D. work in the laboratory of Professor Omar Yaghi where he worked on the synthesis, characterization, and postmodification of metal-organic frameworks and zeolitic imidazolate frameworks. Following his Ph.D., he spent two years at Northwestern, where he developed skills in lithography, nanoparticle synthesis, and DNA-mediated assembly.
