He was a finalist for the Best Research Paper Award in 2012 at the annual conference in Porto.”
Of the award Bill says “It is a very great honour to be awarded a Fellowship by peers within a professional organisation that I have been associated with since its inception in 1991. Only a few Fellowships are awarded annually making it a highly prestigious status to achieve, especially as only 7 of the 75 awards since 1993 have been made to members from the UK.”
