Scott Frazier

Scott Frazier is an Associate Professor in the Department of Biosystems and Agricultural Engineering at Oklahoma State University (OSU), where he also serves as an Extension Specialist for Energy Management with OSU Extension. His work integrates teaching, applied research, and extension outreach focused on energy and resource management in agricultural and industrial sectors.

• PhD, Oklahoma State University
• MS, Oklahoma State University
• BS, Oklahoma State University

Dr. Frazier's research spans energy management, renewable energy systems, life cycle assessment (LCA), irrigation efficiency, and decision science. His applied work emphasizes sustainability in agricultural processes, including biofuel technologies, water use efficiency, and energy conservation in farming operations. He has led numerous projects evaluating the performance of irrigation systems, particularly center pivots in western Oklahoma, and assessing the environmental and economic impacts of energy technologies.

His recent scholarly output shows a strong focus on sustainability analysis, including LCA studies comparing landfilling and gasification for municipal solid waste, and evaluating biochar versus metal catalysts in syngas cleaning. He also explores synthetic data generation for agricultural loads using TimeGANs and conducts economic analyses of household solar and wind energy systems. These works reflect a consistent theme of using engineering and systems analysis to promote sustainable resource use.
