William R. Newman (born March 13, 1955) is Distinguished Professor and Ruth N. Halls Professor in the Department of History and Philosophy of Science at Indiana University. Most of Newman’s work in the History of Science has been devoted to alchemy and "chymistry," the art-nature debate, and matter theories,[2] particularly atomism. Newman is also General Editor of the Chymistry of Isaac Newton, an online resource combining born-digital editions of Newton’s alchemical writings with multimedia replications of Newton’s alchemical experiments.[3][4] In addition, he was Director of the Catapult Center for Digital Humanities and Computational Analysis of Texts at Indiana University.[5] Newman is on the editorial boards of Archimedes, Early Science and Medicine, and HOPOS.
