Holding a Ph.D. in Political Science from Florida State University, he maintains active scholarly contributions across urban governance, neighborhood development, and public administration pedagogy, with publications spanning Urban Affairs Review and Journal of Urban Affairs.
His research program critically examines neighborhood governance structures including homeowners associations (HOAs) and their impacts on civic participation, racial dynamics, housing markets, and public goods provision. Scheller investigates how local institutions shape community development while advancing statistical methodologies for public affairs education, particularly through innovative applications of R programming in hybrid and asynchronous learning environments.
Scholarly output from 2014-2024 reveals consistent engagement with urban policy challenges, including pandemic-era impacts on urban design and voter behavior, fire department operational efficiency, and walkability economics. His work bridges theoretical frameworks with practical governance solutions, emphasizing neighborhood-level democracy and data-driven decision-making in public administration.
