Subjects and Courses Taught
Professor Elliott’s research interests are in the areas of active materials and shape memory alloys. Specifically, he studies the detailed atomic scale behavior of martensitic transformations using bifurcation and stability techniques. Current research projects include: atomistic modeling of Martensitic transformations in Shape Memory Alloys and other materials, numerical methods for studying bifurcation and stability of systems with symmetry (ranging from single crystals to space trusses), and the development of numerically ass isted material design techniques to aid in the search for new materials with exotic and technologically important properties.
