95% of Machine Learning solutions in the real world are for tabular data.

Not LLMs, not transformers, not agents, not fancy stuff.

Learning to do feature engineering and build tree-based models will open a ton of opportunities.

Congrats to Anna Gaffney for winning the poster competition in theory and computation at the @BiophysicalSoc meeting! Amazing work on a generalized continuum model of lipid monolayer elasticity implemented with finite elements.

[UChicagoAorta @UChicagoAorta]

Fortunate to have so many talented folks as a part of our team! Vascular rockstars.

[Pocivavsek Lab @SurgBioMech]

@MdDorsey @UChicagoAorta @drmediget @bslatermd Amazing set of presentations and great representation by @uchicagosurgery. Only through science can there be progress in medicine.

[Pocivavsek Lab @SurgBioMech]

Could not be prouder of Dr. Alyssa Varsanik (@uchicagosurgres and @uchicagosurgery ) presenting her phenomenal collaborative work with Yale (@adardik) at #ASC2024 . Dedicated application of her engineering training to a surgical problem!
