• Today, the importance of global climate change and atmospheric ozone depletion is finally being recognized. • Bill's ozone measurement system led the way for quantifying atmospheric ozone depletion. |
 |
Leadership / Management • Bill led the ozone measurement project. Theory / R&D • Although Bill's first electrochemical project, he excelled in the design and fabrication of his system. • This includes Bill’s numerous insights in physics, chemistry, electronics, instrumentation and prototyping. Hardware • Bill machined the precision electrochemical reaction cell from a solid block of clear resin, constructed a platinum-wrapped fritted glass cathode, and a motorized syringe for a constant supply of constant Potassium Iodide (KI). |
