Scott is a Marshall Chemistry Bachelor’s graduate who received his Ph.D. in analytical chemistry from Virginia Tech. He has also done post-doctoral research with Professor Norton of Marshall University Chemistry Department. His research interests include the development and characterization of surfaces with molecularly defined spacing for highly sensitive bioanalytical sensors such as protein biochips. Particularly, he is interested in developing protein immobilization strategies that overcome the challenges associated with site-specific orientation, protein conformation, retention and activity.
