Rosalind Archer

Rosalind Ann Archer is a New Zealand 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. She held the Mercury / Mighty River Power Chair in Geothermal Reservoir Engineering from 2013 to 2018.

She won the Society of Petroleum Engineers Regional Distinguished Achievement Award for Petroleum Engineering Faculty (Asia Pacific Region) in 2011, and was the first New Zealand-based engineer to be awarded the position of "distinguished member" of the Society of Petroleum Engineers in 2015. In 2016, she won the Deloitte Energy Engineer of the Year award. She is a Fellow of Engineering NZ 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.
