For the largest part of his career he worked at Cardiff University, where he became pro-vice chancellor for research in 1994. He also made significant contributions to research strategy at the ESRC.
His research into face perception had significant contribution to eyewitness testimony[5] and also the understanding of delusions of misidentification such as Capgras delusion.[6] Ellis is also considered to be the person who coined the term cognitive neuropsychiatry.
During his career he also wrote many books, including Validation in Psychology: Research Perspectives[7] and Perceiving and Remembering Faces.[8]
After his death from bowel cancer, Cardiff University recognised his contribution to science and the university by naming a building in his honor.[9] Additionally, the Hadyn Ellis Prize is awarded annually to research students at Cardiff University for the best PhD dissertation, previous winners of which have been Joseph Sweetman[10] and Georgie Powell.[11][clarification needed]
