Andrew Scott White

Andrew Scott White is a Research Fellow at the Laboratory for Aviation and the Environment (LAE) at MIT, pursuing a doctoral degree. He holds a B.S. in Mechanical Engineering from Penn State University and an M.S. from MIT's Gas Turbine Laboratory, focusing on hydrogen-fueled propulsion systems for electrified aircraft. He has also taught a course in the School of Computing and Data Science at Wentworth Institute of Technology.

His research explores the intersection of energy systems and atmospheric science, particularly assessing the climate, air quality, and environmental justice implications of replacing short-haul flights with passenger rail travel. His work also involves trade-space analyses of hydrogen propulsion systems and thermal management in electric aircraft.

Publications emphasize propulsion system design, thermal utilization, and additive manufacturing applications in aerospace. No scientific awards or grants are explicitly mentioned. His doctoral research bridges transportation policy and environmental science, with a focus on sustainable aviation alternatives.
