Elliott earned a Master's degree in Aerospace Engineering, with this study culminating in two bio-inspired UAV projects, studying first wing morphing in Harris' Hawks, then sonar navigation in bats. This background ignited a passion for bio-inspired robotics. They pursued a Ph.D. in bio-inspired underwater sensors, using nature's designs as inspiration for more efficient and adaptable sensor technologies.
Currently, as a Postdoctoral Researcher, Elliott focuses on building robots to study the feeding behavior of basking sharks, contributing to marine conservation efforts. In addition to this, they are involved in projects developing robots for hydroponics, aiming to revolutionize sustainable agriculture, and robots for pollination to address the challenges of declining bee populations and sustainable food production.
Elliott's practical approach to sustainability, technical expertise, and dedication to making a positive impact on our environment make them a valuable contributor to the field of sustainable technology. Their work is not only innovative but also helps ensure a more sustainable future for our world.
