Scott grew up in Rockville, MD, and received a BA in physics from UChicago. After completing a MSc in Munich, Germany he came to Berkeley in 2019 to join the physics PhD program. At Berkeley, Scott is working on laser cooling of neutral titanium atoms, achieving the first ultracold gas of these atoms in 2023. With properties unlike other elements that are commonly used in ultracold atomic physics research, titanium opens up new possibilities in quantum simulation, metrology, and precision measurement. Additionally, Scott and his collaborators have identified twelve other elements that can be studied with similar techniques as titanium, each of which may present opportunities for new directions in atomic physics research. In his free time, Scott enjoys baking, reading, watching movies with friends, and traveling.
