Chris Scott, PhD

Chris Scott, PhD is a Chemical Engineering and Failure Analysis expert specializing in polymer, plastic, rubber, and coating material disputes. With a career spanning chemical engineering, material science, and nondestructive testing, he brings a multidisciplinary perspective to litigation work. His work centers on investigating material failures, assessing design and manufacturing processes, and evaluating whether defects contributed to accidents.

Mr. Scott has been retained in numerous expert witness and consulting engagements across the United States, involving automotive, medical device, aerospace, and packaging industries. His PhD in Chemical Engineering from the University of Minnesota, along with his MS in Polymer Science and BS in Chemical Engineering from Case Western Reserve University, reinforce his ability to deliver objective, defensible analyses. He is regularly engaged by both plaintiff and defense counsel to provide clear, independent determinations of causation in disputes involving material defects and failures.
