معرفی
Professor John Ellis serves as Professor of Surface Physics in the Department of Physics at the University of Cambridge, affiliated with the Surfaces, Microstructure and Fracture Group (SMF Group) at the Cavendish Laboratory. His office is located in Room 427C at JJ Thomson Avenue, Cambridge, CB3 0HE, United Kingdom.
His research centers on Surface Physics and Fracture Mechanics, with specific expertise in material Microstructure analysis. The SMF Group employs advanced methodologies including atom scattering techniques at the Cambridge Atom Scattering Centre, investigating phenomena such as ice formation dynamics and real-time atomic behavior in 2D nanomaterials. Current initiatives include PhD projects for 2025 entry focusing on surface and nano-science applications.
The research group maintains specialized facilities for surface characterization and fracture analysis, with documented case studies on thermal processes in material formation and atomic-scale observation techniques. Ongoing activities encompass virtual open days for prospective students and development of novel instrumentation for surface science research.
