About Us
What We Do
We provide consulting services to STEM entrepreneurs of black-owned businesses in the U.S., as well as faculty of HBCUs and universities in the Caribbean, to enable the successful manufacturing of products and the acceleration of materials development in sectors that have a significant and direct influence on improving our climate. Our niche lies in the development of next-generation aerospace materials operating in extreme environments, which entails developing innovative materials solutions for integration into efficient, yet complex power and propulsion systems not typically encountered in static environments or terrestrial applications.
Our mission is to grow diversity in the STEM talent pool of aerospace materials designers, strengthen expertise in materials innovation and manufacturing, and promote sustainability awareness among researchers from underrepresented groups. We offer materials selection, processing, and characterization expertise, professional development training, strategic planning guidance, and technical writing support services to our clients with the aim of increasing organizational research impact and elevating national and global name recognition in the aerospace sector.
List of Services
We offer a variety of materials science consulting services including:
Materials processing and characterization guidance. Our focus areas encompass high-performance polymers, advanced composites and fibers, bio-composites, biomimetic materials, engineered nanomaterials, and textiles for applications in aerospace, energy, and power.
Short courses and workshops. Our short course topics include, but are not limited to Intro to Aerospace Materials Design and Bio-inspired materials and strategies, with additional topics to be offered throughout the year.
Proposal technical narrative review and feedback to put forth a stronger and more competitive technical narrative to increase prospects of funding.
Our Approach
We have developed a proven methodology that we tailor to the specific backgrounds and needs of our clients. By taking a data-driven approach to consulting, over 15 years in aerospace materials development, and the latest trends in materials innovation, manufacturing, and product development, we are confident that we can help our clients achieve their goals.
Expertise in Materials Innovation
With more than over 15 years of experience as a researcher, technology leader, and subject matter expert in aerospace materials development, Dr. Tiffany Williams, Founder of Williams Labs International, is well-equipped to get you unstuck in your R &D efforts. Her background spans working over a decade working in both the aerospace and consumer products industries after earning M.S. and Ph.D. degrees in Materials Science & Engineering, and a B.S. in Chemistry.
Dr. Williams excels in driving materials innovation, helping small businesses overcome barriers to commercialization while scaling their research products and mentoring research faculty and students on research projects that have depth and can be scaled, and eventually licensed for industry use.
Dr. Williams has:
- Led multi-million dollar projects focused on advancing next-generation aerospace and propulsion technologies in the U.S.
- Assisted small businesses with reducing barriers to commercialization, fostering an environment for manufacturing growth.
- Guided numerous SBIR and STTR contracts to successful completion through her roles as topic lead, contracting officer representative, and technical monitor.
-Supervised a group of scientists, engineers, and technicians conducting materials research for aerospace power, energy, and structural applications.
-Been the recipient of numerous awards throughout her career, including NASA's prestigious Exceptional Scientific Achievement Medal.
- Served as a subject matter expert on numerous university-led research programs and grants.
- Earned a U.S. utility patent and contributed to intellectual property and licensing of other innovations.
- Pioneered bio-inspired materials research at NASA to advance sustainable and efficient aerospace technologies.
- Scaled and optimized manufacturing processes to enhance efficiency and performance.
- Mentored and trained dozens of students and early-career STEM professionals in both government and industry.
- Supported policies aimed at advancing early- to mid-stage technologies.
- Developed and characterized fibers, thermoplastics, thermosets, adhesives, fiber-reinforced and particulate-filled polymer composites, and materials exposed to radiation (UV, ionizing), thermal, electrical and mechanical stresses to increase longevity.
Her current interests include materials for energy and power, bioadhesives, bio-inspired materials and processes, textiles, climate-resilient construction materials, and the bioeconomy.
My commitment is to use my skills and experiences as a supervisor, technical leader, research engineer, SME, mentor, and innovator to provide you with outside expertise to help you grow your business and research programs.
