Research Interests

Reactive and energetic materials; Chemical kinetic modeling; Low- and non-carbon fuels for the offroad, rail, marine, and aviation transportation sectors; Techniques for compound identification/quantification (e.g. gas chromatography, laser diagnostics); Visualization techniques; e.g. high-speed imaging)

Career Path

Since joining LLNL in 2016, Scott has contributed to and led research in chemical kinetic modeling for topics ranging from the combustion of low-lifecycle carbon fuels to particulate formation in postdetonation environments. In recent years, his research has further diversified to include material aging, compatibility, and performance of initiation train components. Scott also currently holds roles as a Deputy Group Leader within the Reaction Dynamics Group and a task leader for the IEA’s Sustainable Combustion Technology Collaboration Program.
