Professor Elanor Huntington
- The Dean of the College is responsible for the strategic direction of the College, including oversight of research, education, and community engagement outcomes, as well as having responsibility for coordinating key functions across CECS to ensure delivery of those outcomes.
- Prime responsibilities include:
- development of the College Operational Plan
- alignment of the College budget with the strategic plan
- ensuring appropriate administration mechanisms are in place
- chairing the College Executive Committee
- overseeing the achievement of overall College research and education outcomes identified in the strategic plan
- Prof Elanor Huntington received her PhD in experimental quantum optics from the ANU in April 2000. From early 1999, she spent 18 months at the Defence Science and Technology Organisation working in science policy before taking a Lecturing position with the University of New South Wales at the Australian Defence Force Academy campus in Canberra in mid 2000. Since her return to academia Prof Huntington was a full-time employee of UNSW at Canberra, and has been a teaching academic for the duration of that period. She was Head of the School of Engineering and Information Technology for four years until she returned to the ANU to become Dean of CECS.
- Prof Huntington is a program manager in the ARC Centre of Excellence for Quantum Computation and Communication Technology.
- Memberships:
- MIEEE
- MIEAust
- Consulting interests:

- Prof. Huntington's research interest is in the area of experimental quantum optics, specialising in high-speed measurement, control and generation of non-classical states for quantum technological applications. Non-classical states are used as an input to a variety of quantum technologies and, as such, the ability to make, measure, and manipulate such states with high precision and at high speeds is crucial. Prof Huntington is the author of several research publications and patents in this area.
