Guest Instructor of Mathematics and Science

Dr. Williams is an atmospheric physicist with interests in geophysical fluid dynamics, atmospheric thermodynamics, and remote sensing. Currently, his research focuses on the physics of rotating convection systems (such as hurricane and tornadoes) and the dynamics of the atmospheric boundary layer using computer modeling and remote sensing.

Dr. Williams believes that the philosophical and historical approach to the sciences is the most valuable means of studying the world around us. He recognizes the necessity of the quadrivium (astronomy, arithmetic, geometry, and music) for the broader Christian worldview, and he strongly believes that science education should be integrated within the broader classical curriculum. He brings a wealth of knowledge on these topics, and he practices classical pedagogy in his current position.

A father of two young children, he is a committed advocate of and pedagogue of classical education at the pre-college level. He is a tenure-track professor at The Citadel. Dr. Williams is a six-day creationist with a proper understanding of the harmony between Scripture and science. He is a member of Christ Church (PCA) in Mount Pleasant, South Carolina. He and the church’s pastor, Dr. Rev. Jon Payne, host a podcast together entitled, “Between the Times.”
