Will graduated from the University of Oxford in 2008 with a master’s degree in Chemistry, having completed modules in organic, inorganic and physical chemistry, quantum chemistry, inorganic molecular spectroscopy, structural methods, solid state chemistry, molecular reaction dynamics, surface methods, and theory and applications of lasers.
In his final year he took part in a research project to analyse the possibility of creating a sample of ultracold atoms and molecules using a novel photodissociative technique. He developed the experimental technique during his postgraduate study, and successfully generated, and subsequently magnetically trapped a sample of bromine atoms at a temperature of approximately 30 milliKelvin.
Having worked for a technology company that designed financial software for a year, Will joined Albright IP in July 2013, where he is now involved in the drafting, filing and general prosecution of patents. He obtained chartered status in 2015.
In his spare time, Will plays badminton and squash, and tries to keep abreast of the county championship, following Warwickshire CCC.
