William (Bill) J. Madia (born 1947) is an American scientist and laboratory director. Madia holds a Ph.D. in nuclear chemistry, a field in which most of his career was focused at Battelle. In his early twenties, Madia was drafted into the US Army where he trained nuclear reactor operators. He later worked for Battelle, a non-profit research company where he began as a researcher before being promoted to direct various laboratories across the United States and Western Europe. Madia retired in 2007 but continues to lead several organizations out of interest. ==Education== Madia was born in 1947 in Wilkinsburg, Pennsylvania and grew up a few miles away in Swissvale.〔 His peers in school went into careers in the steel mills of Pittsburgh but Madia wanted to be the first in his family to attend a university.〔 He was accepted into both Penn State University and Indiana University of Pennsylvania (IUP) in 1965, however, he had to pay his way as a dish washer in a restaurant so chose IUP because it cost $200 less per year.〔 In his later years at university, he worked summers in a steel mill to pay for tuition.〔 Madia became a member of Sigma Tau Gamma and studied chemistry, graduating with a Bachelor of Science in chemistry in 1969, followed by a Master's degree in 1971.〔 After attaining his Master's, Madia went to Texas A&M University to earn a Pd.D. in nuclear physics but before he had settled he was drafted into the U.S. Army.〔 Madia trained nuclear reactor operators as part of the army's nuclear power program in Washington D.C. for the Joint Chiefs of Staff before he returned to study.〔 He attained a Ph.D. in nuclear chemistry at Virginia Tech in twenty seven months, the standing record for fastest Ph.D. at the university.〔
