Brief Biography -
Professor William (Bill) S. Price is known internationally for his work on magnetic resonance techniques for measuring molecular dynamics as evidenced by his awards (see below), invitations to speak and chair at international conferences and to contribute scholarly articles and to join Editorial Boards. He has published 1 book (‘NMR Studies of Translational Motion’, Cambridge University Press, 2009), 27 book chapters and 170 journal publications. His 1997 pedagogical paper on magnetic resonance diffusion measurements has been cited more than 1150 times. His work has been presented in more than 240 conference presentations including many invited and plenary lectures and lectures apart from conferences. He has a Hirsch index of 38 and more than 7850 total citations (Google Scholar). The importance of his research has resulted in more than $12 million in funding. He has a long history of successful research supervision (Hons, MSc, PhD and postdoctoral students).
He is Editor-in-Chief of the (UK) Royal Society of Chemistry’s “New Developments in NMR” book series (http://rsc.li/nmr). Bill is the driving force behind the biennial Western Sydney University's Symposium on NMR, MRI and Diffusion.
