He was considered a genius in his time, so being in the past would make his scientific proficient far greater than that of Wells. Well Harry made tech way ahead of it's time on Earth Two. Well that's another thing. Harry Wells mainly had expertise in technology and physics, while Eobard excels in several areas of science, including the biology where Harry falls short on. This is demonstrated on his sound understanding of speedster physiology and being able to replicate the experiment, as well as his constant analysis of the metahuman's abilities in ses 1. Well yeah, i guess you are right on that. However Eobard definetly isn't as good as Harry when it comes to tech. He usually relies on others. Like when he needed Tina's Tachyon device.

Also the reason Harry was short on those things was because they needed to allow Caitlin to show more of a role on the team.
