ABOUT DAVID J WILLIAMS

David John Williams retired after a long career as a scientist with the Division of Energy Technology (DET) in Commonwealth Scientific and Industrial Research Organisation, Australia. Born in the UK, he moved to Australia in 1963. He was an expert in measuring urban and industrial air quality and had a great experience in working on greenhouse gas emissions from coal mining. This led to him being part of the IPCC process in regard to coal mining-related emissions and earned him a squillionth of the 2007 Nobel Peace Prize. David was the Project Leader of World Bank’s Air Quality Management Project in Bangladesh in 2001-2002. In 2002, He was awarded an Honorary Doctor of Science (DSc.) degree by The University of Newcastle, Australia. David was a conjoint fellow of Newcastle University. He was a keen reader of history, particularly the lead-up to the Industrial Revolution, and a lover of cricket and Western classical music. A list of his research work is outlined below:
