Associate Professor Elizabeth Williams is a nuclear physicist by training, with a PhD in nuclear physics from Yale. She joined ANU in 2012, where she held an ARC DECRA Fellowship in nuclear reactions before switching over to research and teaching related to systems design - with a focus on human factors related to the integration of AI-enabled systems in safety-critical contexts. She recently convened the Algorithmic Futures Policy Lab, which was supported by the Erasmus+ Programme of the European Union, and is currently an Associate Professor in the School of Engineering, where she convenes the nuclear systems major and minor. She created and hosts the Nuclear Matters podcast for the Australian National University College of Systems and Society.
