SCOPE Stories Week 7: Progress

I'm officially a quarter of the way done with SCOPE! That's a little weird, because a lot of times it feels like we're still just getting started.

Best moment of this week: our liaison told us we were making progress much more quickly than Boston Scientific had expected!

I'm perhaps even more excited, though, about what comes next. So far, a lot of our work has been in understanding and implementing models in which we already have a lot of confidence. We're still going to verify them, but we're reasonably sure the data will align with the model's predictions. Unfortunately, those models only apply to a few stents, and we want to produce something that covers a wide range of geometries and materials. So our big task between Wednesday and Sunday is a combination of literature review and ideation to figure out how to best represent different types of stents. I think we'll get to the really mathematical bit of the project very soon!
