Elinor Scott

Elinor Scott is Associate Professor at Wageningen University at the chair group of Biobased Chemistry and Technology. Since 1997 she has been concerned with the development of economically and ecologically attractive conversion routes and processes of biomass to industrial chemicals. She obtained her PhD in Chemistry at Heriot-Watt University. Following positions as Post-Doctoral researcher in the field of polymer chemistry at the University of Strathclyde (1994–1995) and Heriot-Watt University (1995–1996), she moved to the Netherlands where she worked as an industrial Post-Doctoral polymer scientist at DSM and later as a scientist at ATO looking into biomass conversions.
