Scot Frank

Scot Frank has engaged in several education and technology projects in China and India through the MIT MISTI program. Having studied Mandarin for four years, his involvement ranges from developing online learning and research laboratories to teaching a biomaterials class. More recently, Scot has worked on developing water purification and energy generation technologies for rural village communities in the Himalayas. This last project effort was winner of the 2008 MIT IDEAS Competition and recipient of the Yunus Innovation Challenge Award. Scot's on-going interest in applying engineering and technology toward sustainable development in an international context has led to him founding One Earth Designs, an NGO working toward community-based solutions for problems faced by rural peoples in high altitude areas.
