Currently I am working in the field of computational neuroscience,
where we try to re-create the behavior of bits of the nervous system
using simple models which we make up. I just started in May so no
papers to show for it yet.
My graduate work was in the field of granular
materials, and involved hydrodynamic simulations of same.
Some papers:
Scott A. Hill and Gene F. Mazenko. ``Granular clustering in a
hydrodynamic simulation.'' Physical Review E 67: 061302
(2003).

Scott A. Hill and Gene F. Mazenko. ``Nonlinear hydrodynamical approach
to granular materials.'' Physical Review E 63: 031303 (2001).

My undergraduate work was in quantum information theory with Bill
Wootters at Williams. We even published a paper together in Physical
Review Letters, which is no small feat for an undergraduate:
S.A. Hill and W.K. Wootters. ``Entanglement of a pair of quantum
bits.'' Physical Review Letters 78: 5022 (1997).

I am very interested in simulations and simple models, and not
nearly as interested in real-life messy systems. :-) If a
paper has a chemical symbol in the title I tend to avoid it
altogether. Here's a paper I've written on modeling bus routes, which
has been accepted for publication by Physica A.
Scott A. Hill. ``Reconciliation of stability analysis with simulation
in a bus route model.'' cond-mat/0206008 (2002).

Here's my curriculum vitae, if you're
interested.
