Rosalind Archer

Rosalind Ann Archer is a New Zealand engineer and academic. She is currently Head of the School of Engineering and Built Environment at Griffith University.

Academic career After a 2000 PhD titled 'Computing flow and pressure transients in heterogeneous media using boundary element methods' at Stanford University, Archer moved to Texas A&M University and then to the University of Auckland in 2002, rising to full professor in 2013. In 2013 she also became head of the University of Auckland's Department of Engineering Science. was elected deputy president of that organisation in 2020. In March 2021, she was elected president of Engineering New Zealand. In December 2021, Rosalind took up a new role as Head of the School of Engineering and Built Environment at Griffith University in Queensland.
