Prof. Tyler Scott

I am co-director of the CEPB. My current research centers on the use of science in decision-making, organizational strategy and innovation (particularly related to infrastructure), and coordination in complex institutional settings. My work uses data science tools and natural language processing to collect and analyze textual data, computational methods such as statistical network analysis and agent-based modeling to model complex institutional systems, and econometric methods for causal inference using observational data. I teach courses in R programming, energy policy, and policy analysis. I advise students in the UCD graduate groups in Ecology, Geography, Hydrology, Energy, Political Science and Transportation Technology and Policy. If you are interested in working with me, please email me about your background, possible research interests, and an updated resume or CV.
