Research

Boston Scientific, a leader in the medical device industry, tasked the 2023-2024 BSC SCOPE team with the challenge of identifying potential alternative materials to make EVT more effective and minimize the judgement calculations needed for doctors to customize sponges to patients.

Our team worked with New Balance to investigate certain manufacturing processes for New Balance shoes at their Lawrence, MA factory.  

The Olin SCOPE team was tasked with designing a device to perform 96 pH measurements within 15 minutes. This first-in-class technology is an order of magnitude faster than current methods and will greatly expedite the characterization of new formulations.

Catalyzing the Transition to Electrical Vehicles

This year's SCOPE team is working to develop a method and system to dry thin, delicate sheets of fibers in a way that is both time and energy efficient. By researching different methods and prototyping and testing systems, we hope to implement the findings from this project in our pilot line to increase our product throughput and usability.

Our objective is to understand the limitations of Near Field Communication (NFC) in various environments and around different interferences. This technology can be used to determine temperatures within fluid valves to enable easier testing, calibration, and troubleshooting for water temperature issues.

The goal of this project was to understand manufacturability and control of a device used to generate electrical power from water flow in pipes to power sensors for smart water networks. 

This year’s Boston Scientific SCOPE team will design and fabricate a mechanism to provide enhanced access of tools and visualization at the tip of a duodenoscope without causing unintended scope movement. 

The 2024-2025 collaboration between Microsoft Research NERD's Project Resolve team and Olin College’s SCOPE team focused on creating a public-facing consent framework for the community served by flok Health. The project emphasizes secure, ethical data handling practices and seeks to build trust within health communities by prioritizing informed consent.

The 2022-23 Ford SCOPE team focused on women in motorsports, with an emphasis on connecting with and building a future community among aspiring women in racing through digital channels.
