You have reached
the homepage of Ben Williams. I am a postdoctoral research
associate at the University of Washington.
My research
interests include the evolution of Galaxies as determined through
stellar populations and X-ray source populations analysis.
I did my
undergraduate
work in physics at Middlebury
College with Professor
Frank Winkler .
I received my Ph.
D. from the University of Washington in 2002, working with Paul
Hodge. Some highlights
from that era are here.
Currently, I am
playing a leading role in the implementation of the ACS Nearby Galaxy
Survey. This project is going to measure the star formation
history of nearly all known galaxies outside the Local Group but nearby
enough to measure resolved stellar photometry with HST (~4 Mpc).
Here are some astronomical links that I find useful.
The Los Alamos Preprint Archive
The
NASA Astrophysics Data System
