R. Stanley Williams primary scientific research during the past fifty years has been in the fields of solid-state chemistry, physics and materials, and their applications to technology, especially in the areas of computing, communication and sensing. In 2008, a team of researchers he led announced that they had built and demonstrated the first intentional memristor, the fourth fundamental nonlinear electronic circuit element complementing the capacitor, resistor and inductor that had been predicted theoretically by Prof. Leon Chua 37 years earlier. He is presently the director of the US DOE Energy Frontier Research Center reMIND (Reconfigurable Electronic Materials Inspired by Nonlinear Neuron Dynamics) that includes researchers from TAMU, Sandia National Labs, the National Laboratory of the Rockies (formerly NREL) and Lawrence Berkeley National Labs.
