Bio/Research

While a graduate student at Cambridge University, England, Williamson spent some months working as a research associate for the National Maritime Institute in London. After receiving his doctorate in 1982, he worked as a staff engineer for a firm involved in offshore-platform research and then as a high school mathematics and physics teacher in London, and as a private tutor to Prince Pavlos, the son of King Constantine of Greece. In 1996, he spent a sabbatical at the Laboratoire d'Hydrodynamique at Ecole Polytechnique in France (LADHYX). Part of his sabbatical in early 2003 was spent working with CSIRO and Monash University in Melbourne, Australia, and at GALCIT, Caltech. In 2006, Williamson received the Astor Visiting Lectureship at Oxford University. His Sabbatical in Spring 2010 was spent as an Invited Professor to Keble College, Oxford, and as a visiting researcher at the Institut de Recherche Phenome Hors Equilibre (IRPHE), Marseille, France.
