Scott obtained a B.Sc. in Physics Electronic Engineering in 1987 from the Department of Natural Philosophy at the University of Glasgow and completed his Ph.D. studies in 1994, investigating 'Engineering aspects of extended single electronic systems' in the Department of Electronics and Electrical Engineering under the supervision of Prof. John Barker. In the late 1990s, he worked as a Research Assistant to Prof. Barker and Prof. Asen Asenov, contributing to numerous projects involving the design and construction of a DC-Hypermesh parallel processing machine and Monte Carlo simulation of Si:SiGe HMOS devices, as well as InGaAs HEMTs for VLSI RF applications. Scott has developed training programs in semiconductor device physics using commercial simulators. Currently, he serves as a Reader in the Department of Electronics and Electrical Engineering at the University of Glasgow, and is a member of the Device Modelling Microelectronics Systems Group, having published over 100 papers concerning device transport, Monte Carlo simulation, device scaling, bio-nanotechnology, and the development of practical compact models for circuit simulation techniques applied to nanoscale devices subject to variability. He also serves on the programme committee for ULIS and works as an investigator and co-investigator on grants from SEMATECH, the EU, Fujitsu, and holds 11 EPSRC grants, with 6 currently active.
