Bill Price graduated with highest honors from The New Mexico Institute of Mining and Technology in 1992. He received his Ph.D. from the University of California, Berkeley in 1997 while working with Evan Williams on developing experimental and theoretical methodologies for blackbody infrared radiative dissociation (BIRD) of biomolecular ions trapped in a fourier transform mass spectrometer. His current interests include mass spectrometry of dendrimers and dendrimers complexed with metals.
