Ellie’s current research is focused on social and policy questions arising from automation technologies, including blockchain. She has also worked extensively on the topic of digital inclusion, particularly in relation to remote Australia and Indigenous communities.
From 2020 she will be an ARC Future Fellow, working on a project called ‘Cooperation through code: The social outcomes of blockchain technology’.
