Elliott B. Slamovich

Elliott B. Slamovich is a Professor in the Department of Materials Engineering at Purdue University, part of the Purdue College of Engineering. His research focuses on hydrothermal processing of ceramic powders and thin films, particularly for applications in microelectronics and biomaterials. Supported by NSF grants, his work explores low-temperature synthesis methods to produce materials like BaTiO3 and (Ba,Sr)TiO3 for advanced electronic devices.

His research interests include optimizing hydrothermal parameters to control particle morphology and dielectric properties, with applications in DRAM capacitors and biomedical coatings. Slamovich has published extensively in journals like Journal of Materials Research and Journal of the American Ceramic Society, focusing on nanoparticle domain behavior, thin film microstructure, and biomedical surface treatments.

Slamovich mentors graduate students in ceramic materials synthesis and characterization, with notable advisees including Zhiyuan Ye and Mark A. McCormick. His NSF-funded projects emphasize sustainable, low-temperature material fabrication techniques that bridge fundamental materials science with industrial applications.
