Stephen Elliott

Stephen Elliott is a Visiting Professor in the Department of Chemistry at the University of Oxford. His research interests focus on the discovery, development, and understanding of functional inorganic materials, particularly for electronic and optical applications. He has a long-standing interest in the effects of structural disorder on material properties, especially in amorphous solids and glasses. His work involves computer simulations using ab initio density-functional-theory codes and molecular-dynamics simulations with machine-learned interatomic potentials. He collaborates with various institutions globally, including the University of Cambridge, Beihang University, and the Singapore University of Technology and Design. His research includes phase-change memory materials and machine-learned interatomic potentials for simulating complex systems.

Stephen R Elliott is a Visiting Professor of Physical and Theoretical Chemistry at Oxford University, specializing in computational materials chemistry. His research focuses on the development and application of computational methods to understand the structural, electronic, and optical properties of amorphous and disordered materials. His work includes the use of machine-learning-driven molecular dynamics and Gaussian approximation potentials to model phase-change memory materials, chalcogenide glasses, and disordered silicon. Elliott's research also explores the role of structural order in materials and its impact on functional properties such as electrical conductivity and optical nonlinearities.
