Dr. Rob Ward
scientist | engineer
Rob initially studied electronics before completing degrees in mathematics and physics and a PhD in NMR (nuclear magnetic resonance). He then completed a 5 year postdoc focusing upon high-temperature-high-pressure microfluidics. More recently he completed a further 2 year postdoc focused upon fast throughput measurements of gelling soft matter systems. Rob is now focused upon pressing forward with commercializing the products he has developed over the past 7 years.
Prof. Bill Williams
scientist
Martin A. K. (Bill) Williams did a degree in Astrophysics followed by a PhD in NMR (nuclear magnetic resonance). Thereafter he spend 4 years as a postdoc and a further 4 years working for Unilever before moving to New Zealand to set up a Soft-Matter research group focusing upon microrheology, optical tweezing, light scattering and microfluidics. Bill has published extensively and works collaboratively throughout New Zealand and across the globe.
