Scott Kemp is a PhD student (expected 2009) at the Program on Science and Global Security in the Woodrow Wilson School of Public and International Affairs at Princeton University. He also serves as a research affiliate for the International Panel on Fissile Materials and occasional consultant to the U.S. Government on nuclear-proliferation matters.
Kemp specializes in the proliferation of gas-centrifuge enrichment technology, with additional expertise in proliferation pathways and clandestine nuclear activities. He has proposed several novel verification methods for detecting undeclared fissile-material production and verification measures for a future fissile-material cutoff treaty.
Kemp was previously Science & Technology Advisor to a CSIS project led by Robert Einhorn (2008), Fulbright Fellow at the International Policy Institute in London (2003-2004), and Research Assistant to Richard L. Garwin at the Council on Foreign Relations (2002-2003)
