Scott's research interests include the growth and characterization of thin films for gas sensing and fuel cell applications. Scott is active in the area of nano-ionics, and his Ph.D. thesis is focused on the effect of grain boundary chemistry on electronic and ionic transport in nanocrystalline cerium oxide thin films. He has experienece with pulsed laser deposition (PLD), sputter deposition, electrochemical impedance spectroscopy, Rutherford backscattering spectrometry (RBS), and secondary ion mass spectrometery (SIMS)

Scott enjoys baseball, cooking, West Coast Swing dancing, poker, and travel. In the past, he has been involved with the DMSE Graduate Materials Committee as Vice-President and Social Co-Chair.
