Senior🎓
Top SchoolSian Williams is an Associate Professor at Curtin University and Honorary Senior Research Fellow at the Liggins Institute with nine years of focused experience advancing early diagnosis and rehabilitation for cerebral palsy. Her work combines clinical biomechanics, longitudinal infant motor development studies, and gait analysis to inform surgical and spasticity planning and to map early muscle trajectories. She is skilled in tools like the Hammersmith Infant Neurological Examination and the General Movements Assessment and translates research into clinical education for early detection. Sian has bridged academia and applied practice as a clinical biomechanist, accredited exercise physiologist, and postdoctoral fellow in multicenter cerebral palsy trials. She also brings interdisciplinary breadth from robotics and machine learning research at the University of Auckland, using quantitative methods to improve diagnostic sensitivity. Her PhD in biomechanics underpins a pragmatic, data-driven approach to improving outcomes for children with motor disorders.
