Education
M.S. in Mechanical Engineering, University of Tennessee-Knoxville, 1995Thesis: Development of a Method for Determining Exhaust Emissions and Fuel Consumption of Vehicles in On-road Operation
B.S. in Mechanical Engineering, University of Tennessee-Knoxville, 1994Graduate of the University of Tennessee Cooperative Engineering Education Program.
Scott Sluder joined the research and development staff of the Oak Ridge National Laboratory in 1998. Scott has been the principal investigator of a number of programs including vehicle performance, aftertreatment, and fuel-effects research areas and also has actively contributed to programs in combustion and engine efficiency. His work has included projects from the Department of Transportation and the Department of Energy as well as proprietary projects for industrial partners. He managed the ORNL vehicle systems analysis activities under the PNGV and FreedomCar programs from 1998 – 2002, including experimental and modeling activities both within and external to ORNL. In 2006, Scott was appointed to a 3-year term as a Strategic Advisor to the SAE Powertrain, fuels, and lubricants activity, with a focus on emissions-related topics.
