Project Manager I - Research

Scott Lynn is a Project Manager at Sam Houston State University’s Institute for Homeland Security. Scott earned BAs in Environmental Studies and Economics at the University of California, Santa Barbara and a Master’s degree at Arizona State University (solar energy). He is based in Ventura, California.

Scott spent most of his career in sales engineering and management roles.  His focus was capital equipment projects, primarily to improve efficiency by automating manufacturing, packaging and logistics.  This gave him experience in virtually all manufacturing sectors, as well as with electric and water utilities.  He has enjoyed the intersection of engineering and dealing with customers and the opportunity to “translate” technical concepts to the “normal English” used by customers.

Scott currently manages IHS research contracts for the institute.
