His present work involves modeling changes in the acoustics of Notre-Dame over time and studying interactions among musicians and the spaces in which they perform. Before joining Sorbonne Université, he earned his Ph.D. from the Center for Computer Research in Music and Acoustics at Stanford University with a dissertation on Performing, Recording, and Producing Immersive Music. At Stanford, Elliot was part of the Icons of Sound project simulating Byzantine Chant in the acoustics of Turkey's Hagia Sophia.
