Bio
Travis Williams is an instrument scientist on the MAPS direct geometry spectrometer, within the Excitations Group. His current research interests are in the areas of heavy fermion systems, particularly the hidden order system URu2Si2 and the cerium-based non-centrosymmetric magnets CeTX3. In addition to his neutron scattering work, Dr. Williams also has an interest in neutron instrumentation, materials synthesis and experiments using muon spectroscopy.
