NNF Starting Grant
Scott has an independent research grant to develop catalysts for efficient water electrolysis based on abundant materials. This project takes an open-source data-driven approach.
Projects
Scott leads the Energy Conversion Interfaces group at the University of Copenhagen's department of chemistry. His work bridges the scales between fundamental physical chemistry and the global challenge of the climate crisis.
CHEAC
Scott is one of four PI's at the University of Copenhagen in the Center for High-Entropy Alloy Catalysts, funded by the Danish National Research Foundation.
CAPeX
Scott is part of the Pioneer Center for Accelerating P2X Materials Discovery.
Sino Danish Center
Scott is part of Nanoscience line of the Sino Danish Center, which coordinates a masters degree at the Chinese Academy of Sciences north of Beijing, and builds bridges between the Danish and Chinese research communities.
