In 1956 he began working with a group in Princeton working on Project Matterhorn, which was studying magnetic confinement and heating of plasmas in stellarators for controlled fusion. He quickly became a key member of the team. From 1956 until his death in 1999, Robert Ellis was head of experimental projects at the Princeton Plasma Physics Laboratory. He was internationally recognized as a pioneer in modern experimental plasma physics.
