William completed his BSc degree with majors in Chemistry and Geology at Rhodes bck体育app_bck体育官网下载-二维码平台 in 2012, and obtained his Honours in Chemistry in 2013, also at Rhodes bck体育app_bck体育官网下载-二维码平台. For his Honours project, he dealt with the development of a metal nanoparticle-based diagnostic probe for colorimetric detection of gamma glutamyl transferase. His current research focuses on assessing chemical variations of texturally diverse high-grade iron-ores hosted in rocks of the Transvaal Supergroup in the Northern Cape Province, with special emphasis on their non-ferruginous fraction. To this end, he employs a variety of bulk-rock as well as partial chemical dissolution techniques, in combination with whole-rock geochemical analyses and basic ore petrography. His extramural interests include playing soccer, athletics and listening to music.
A geochemical study of texturally diverse types of high-grade iron-ore in the Transvaal Supergroup, South Africa, with emphasis on the non-ferruginous component.
