The rewards of mentorship: A conversation with Scott Crawford, Ph.D., at NETL
Episode 3
Thursday, 12 March, 2026
Keri Cagle, Ed.D., ORISE Director, joins Michael Holtz as special co-host for the ORISE Featurecast. In this episode, they talk to Scott Crawford, Ph.D., a research physical scientist at the U.S. Department of Energy National Energy Technology Lab in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania, who has served as an ORISE mentor and was once an ORISE research program participant. NETL is dedicated to innovating and accelerating the nation’s energy solutions in hydrocarbon, geothermal energy and critical minerals production. Crawford’s research is focused on developing low-cost sensors for economically critical metals, as well as hydrogen sensing development, and serves as the responsible person for the X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy lab at NETL. In this conversation we discuss Crawford’s career trajectory, the importance of mentorship, and how ORISE has been a key partner in the success of NETL and other research participation programs.
