Scott works in the area of materials research within the SPPL, and also contributes to the work in electric propulsion, especially where it involves the use of novel materials and issues of their fabrication and testing. He is also affiliated with the Rapid Prototyping Laboratory under the direction of Prof. Fritz B. Prinz. Scott has served as Lecturer in the School of Engineering. He worked in the aerospace industry prior to returning to Stanford to pursue his Ph.D.

Research Activities:
The primary focus of Scott's doctoral research is on the development and characterization of a microplasma spraying system. This facility has been built in order to explore novel fabrication methods that are enabled by severely downscaling the industrial technique of plasma spraying.
