Bio
David Baggaley, DC
The best of the best people are those who obsess. Scott obsesses about his work. Even in school I found him reading books on fluid mechanics that were completely unrelated to anything we were studying in school, but he loved it and made it interesting for everyone he talked with. These rare qualities are why I am endorsing Scott Speckart. You will love to be around and work with him.

Atmospheric Dispersion Modeler/Post-Doctoral Researcher
-
Oct 2013 - Feb 2016
Coauthored meteorological modeling and data processing chapter for analysts modeling atmospheric dispersion of chemical and biological agents released in accidents or terrorist attacks. I have developed a new model for particle resuspension from environmental surfaces. The new model incorporates previously neglected phenomenon such as aerodynamic sheltering and adhesive forces between the particles and surface. This has required modeling and programming skills in the Matlab language.

Atmospheric Dispersion Modeler and Experimenter
-
May 2004 - Dec 2013
Performed atmospheric modeling and field measurement work on seven grants in total value greater than $1,000,000 USDCreated and utilized computer models (Gaussian, Eulerian, and Lagrangian) for atmospheric dispersion applied to transport and removal of PM10.Managed and conducted six field studies at remote sites. Two of the field studies entailed international border issues. I also increased the capabilities of instrumentation (such as real-time calculation of Monin-Obukhov length scale) by writing specialized programs.Please see projects below for additional details.
