As I mentioned in a previous blog, I’ve spent significant time at BSC these past two weeks researching the pros and cons of liquid propane gas (LPG) and electric ovens. Last Friday, I presented my findings to Jeff and argued in favor of the latter. In short, electric...

Cooking Up Something Good This week I spent a lot of time running tests and prototyping concepts in Boston Scientific’s engineering lab. The highlight of this week was creating and testing different material coatings for Boston Scientific’s new ureteral stent. As I...

This week was largely focused on the torque device project. This was partly because two colleagues on the test method development project were in Minnesota testing for the week, and partly because the torque device project is now at a point that requires a lot of...

Each week here at Boston Scientific has been filled with new learnings. This week my main learnings had to do with working through projects in supplier engineering and building my understanding of supplier engineering within Boston Scientific. I was able to finalize...
