Elliot is an astrophysicist from Toronto, Canada. His research interests are diverse but mainly focus on the development of novel, state-of-the-art astronomical instrumentation and furthering our understanding of the fundamental properties of extragalactic stellar populations. He completed his doctorate in astrophysics at the University of Toronto in 2019 and has since held postdoctoral research positions in Toronto and most recently here at the University of Oxford.
He is presently conducting fundamental development research for the planned Planetary Camera and Spectrograph for the Extremely Large Telescope (ELT-PCS). This instrument in conjunction with the exceptional sensitivity and resolving power of the ELT will characterize Earth-like planets orbiting nearby stars.
