Dr Elliott Duncan graduated with a Bachelor’s degree in Resource and Environmental Science from the University of Canberra in 2007. He then completed his PhD on the cycling of arsenic by marine algae and microorganisms in 2013. He then worked at a postdoctoral fellow in CSIRO Agriculture and Food in Perth, Western Australia focusing on improving the nutrient use efficiency of wheat.
Elliott joined the University of South Australia in 2016 and is currently a research associate in the Future Industries Institute focusing on the use of metal oxide engineered nanomaterials for environmental remediation and agricultural productivity.
