William C. Smith, lovingly known as Billy, has successfully defended his thesis and completed his PhD in Applied Chemistry. While studying at Mines, Billy has been recognized for his passion and excellence in science by various esteemed scholars and organizations. His fun-loving demeanor and ability to answer endless streams of questions from those he mentored will be missed as he moves on to a postdoctoral position at the Food and Drug Administration.

Congratulations Billy! The Williams’ group wishes you the best in all of your future endeavours.
