Eliot is the Lead Beamline Scientist of the SMI beamline, (12-ID) of NSLS-II. He joined NSLS-II in August, 2023
Expertise
Eliot has spent the last 18 years in synchrotron science, developing scattering techniquies like grazing incidence small and wide angles scattering (GISAXS/GIWAXS) and Resonant Soft X-ray Scattering (RSoXS), as well as spectroscopy techniques like NEXAFS. His scientific expertise is in synchrotron instrumentation, with materials expertise generally in polymeric materials, and organic semiconducting materials.
He spent 2016-2023 as a physicist at the National Institute of Standards and Technology, but stationed at the NSLS-II, building the RSoXS station at SST-1 (7-ID-1). He still collaborates heavily in the RSoXS station, although he has left NIST and is now a BNL employee.
