Scott Feister

Dr. Scott Feister is an interdisciplinary scholar-teacher, collaborating on projects in many areas of science and education. The LaserNetUS community is his research home. As the Outreach committee member of i-USE, Scott is working grow LaserNetUS to include scientists and stakeholders from scientific domains outside of high-power-laser science. He is also advocating for everyday choices in how we structure our LaserNetUS processes that increase diversity in our community -- especially gender, cultural, and socioeconomic diversity. He was previously an Assistant Researcher at UCLA, a Postdoctoral Scholar at the Flash Center for Computational Science at University of Chicago, and a Research Scientist at the Air Force Research Laboratory. He earned a Ph.D. at The Ohio State University and a B.S. at University of Notre Dame. His current focus in research is prototyping data pipelines and control systems to capture the full scientific potential of high-repetition-rate lasers. Scott’s work includes large experimental datasets, low-level data acquisition hardware, supercomputer simulations, and closing the machine learning feedback loop.
