Julie has recently retired from a part-time role as the Interim Director of the Forestry Centre of Excellence in Jan 2025 and previously retired from her continuing role as Professor of Engineering Education in UniSA STEM in April 2024. Prior to this Julie was Executive Dean of UniSA STEM from April 2020 to April 2023, Pro Vice Chancellor of the Division of Information Technology, Engineering and The Environment (April 2019 to March 2020) and Head of the School of Natural and Built Environments (January 2015 – April 2019). Before that she held a range of leadership positions including Associate Head of School and Discipline Leader of Civil Engineering (2011-2015), Program Director of Civil Engineering (2000-2012) and Head of School of Geoscience, Minerals and Civil Engineering (2002-2004). 
Before joining UniSA Julie worked as a structural engineer and project manager in industry for 14 years. The projects she worked on ranged from power stations, office buildings, industrial buildings and shopping centres to residential buildings. During this time she had to break new ground wherever she worked with regard to maternity leave, part-time work, job sharing and so on since female engineers were very rare at the time (things are improving though!). These experiences resulted in Julie’s extensive involvement in activism and research related to Women in Engineering. She was a co-founder of the South Australian Women in Engineering group (now part of Engineers Australia) and a long-time member of the National Women in Engineering committee of Engineers Australia, including a period as Chair from 2004-2006.
Julie came to the University in 1996 as part of the "Level A cohort" for a new challenge and because she wanted to teach. Julie is known nationally and internationally for her expertise in project-based learning and gender inclusive curriculum. Her teaching has been rewarded with several national and university awards, the highlight being the National Teaching Excellence Award from the Australasian Association for Engineering Education in 2009.
Julie’s research interests are diverse and span the areas of Engineering Education, Women in Engineering and Structural Engineering. She has published 2 books, numerous journal articles, supervised PhD students and received Cat 1 grants (ARC and OLT) and industry funding across all of these areas.
Julie now enjoys spending time with their sixyoung grandchildren and tries to keep fit with some walking and generally just running around keeping busy, since the ankles have definitely had it after 30+ years of netball.

Professor Mills research time was somewhat limited in recent years due to her leadership roles, but she continues to supervise and co-supervise PhD students in a range of areas across structural engineering and engineering education.
