Scott Seymour
Senior Research Analyst
Work
As a senior research analyst at EDF, within the Office of the Chief Scientist, Scott coordinates measurement campaigns for methane emissions measurements in Canada. He has experience simulating and developing laser-based gas and aerosol detection instruments and has subsequently brought these novel technologies through multiple field campaigns across Western Canada and Ecuador.
Background
Scott specialized in developing laser-based (spectroscopy) instruments for gas and aerosol detection, with applications in the upstream oil and gas industry. He built a simultaneous water vapor and black carbon detection system to better understand how field measurements of black carbon are affected by complex combustion processes.
