Bio
An interdisciplinary scholar trained in environmental history and science and technology studies (STS), William examines the intersections of nitrogen’s biochemistry, knowledge systems, and policy. Through historical and participatory methodologies, his research addresses issues of science, technology, and governance, with a focus on sustainable development in the Global South.
He is a former Fullbright Scholar and has held postdoctoral fellowships in the Science, Technology, and Society (STS) program and the History Section at MIT, as well as the Rachel Carson Center for Environment & Society.
William has extensive experience in policy-oriented research and collaboration with international organizations. His work integrates biophysical scientists, policymakers, and international institutions, employing community-based participatory methods and actively contributing to policy forums. Currently, he serves as a Co-PI for two NSF-funded grants: "Accelerating Coordination across Research and Policy Networks to Halve Nitrogen Waste (iN-Net)" (Award 2412593) and "Using the Rules of Life to Address Societal Challenges Grant: Co-Producing Knowledge, Biotechnologies and Practices to Enhance Biological Nitrogen Fixation for Sustainable Agriculture" (Award 2319430).
