As senior director of comprehensive energy management, Scott has primary responsibility for the oversight of the Ohio State University Energy Partnership agreement. He serves as the university liaison to Ohio State Energy Partners, as well as chairing the Energy Advisory Committee.

Scott came to Ohio State in 2003, and was initially engaged in energy research at the National Regulatory Research Institute housed in Ohio State’s College of Engineering. At the same time, he was detailed to Battelle Memorial Institute, where he provided energy services consultation to benefit the U.S. military. Prior to joining Ohio State, Scott was the director of utilities at the Public Utilities Commission of Ohio.
