Williams specializes in market design and microstructure, utilizing laboratory experiments, agent-based modeling, and simulations. His narrower focuses include risk preference elicitation, stochastic dominance, and queuing mechanisms. Recent presentations highlight his exploration of equilibrium dynamics, duality in markets, and visual-based market systems.

His publications span topics like first-order stochastic dominance violations, queuing efficiency, and risk preference methodologies, reflecting interdisciplinary applications in microeconomic theory and behavioral economics.
