Senior Lecturer, School of Cybernetics, Australian National University

Elizabeth Williams completed her PhD in experimental nuclear structure at Yale University in 2009. She completed post-doctoral work at Yale and CSIRO in Sydney, worked in nuclear reaction dynamics at the ANU, and began working with the ANU's 3A Institute (now within the School of Cybernetics) in 2018. Her current work aims to contribute to the creation of a new branch of engineering to help scale technology safely, responsibly and sustainably.
