Scott's research interests centre around developing techniques for atomic resolution imaging of materials in transmission electron microscopy and scanning transmission electron microscopy.

Using theoretical modelling and numerical simulation to analyse the elastic and inelastic scattering behaviour of fast electrons moving through solids, I work closely with experimental collaborators to tease out the maximum of scientific information from experimental microscopy images.

Topics of current interest include:

• Using segmented and pixel detector geometries to form novel and useful imaging modes.
• Measuring the shape and composition of materials at the nanoscale by using absolute-scale comparisons between experimental data and simulated images.
• Developing the recent technique of annular bright field imaging for the direct imaging of light elements using scanning transmission electron microscopy.
