William C. Nunnally (S'67–M'69–SM'07) received the B.S., M.S., and Ph.D. degrees in electrical engineering from the Texas Tech University, Lubbock, in 1969, 1971, and 1974, respectively.
After serving in the US Army, he was with the Magnetic Fusion Engineering Group, Los Alamos National Laboratory, Los Alamos, NM, in 1974. His 11-year tenure with Los Alamos included assignments in the Laser-Fusion Group, the Laser-Isotope-Separation Group, the Proton-Storage Ring-Accelerator Group, and the Advanced Electronics Research Group. In 1985, he was with the Electrical Engineering Department, University of Texas, Arlington, where he was the Director of the Applied Physical Research Center. During his 11-year tenure with the University of Texas as a Principal Investigator, he was responsible for external research funding of over 11 million or approximately 1 million per year. He then moved to the University of Missouri—Columbia, Columbia, where he is currently the C.W. LaPierre Professor of electrical engineering with the Department of Electrical and Computer Engineering. He is the Author of over 100 scientific papers and portions of five books related to pulse-power systems, plasma physics diagnostics, high-speed impulse and microwave-burst generators, magnetic switching, pulse compression, optically controlled semiconductor switching, and physical electronics. He is the Inventor or Coinventor of eight U.S. patents in the areas of electromagnetic launchers, flat-panel displays, printers, aircraft deicing, electrooptical storage, and electric-vehicle batteries.
Dr. Nunnally serves on two IEEE conference committees and reviews papers for a number of journals. He has presented short courses related to the application of physical electronics at several IEEE conferences and for several federal agencies in a number of areas. He also serves as an International Consultant and Lecturer.
