Look who I ran into in the locker room!! ⁦@uchicagosurgery⁩ ⁦@uchicagosurgres⁩

What a great night celebrating these amazing people!! Full circle at graduation this year.. congrats to these once upon interns at my own graduation! So proud of you all! 💕@uchicagosurgres @uchicagosurgery @JBMatthews

Congrats to @SurgBioMech on their recent publication on endovascular aortic repair! Their computational research enhances our understanding on TEVAR and EVAR outcomes #AorticResearch #SurBioMech sciencedirect.com/science/articl…

Superstar #VAM2024 moderator team for Plenary Session 2 looking comfy and dropping important knowledge from the moderator lounge chairs.

Congrats to Žiga and the whole team on a great fundamental study of endoleak using a physics based approach: sciencedirect.com/science/articl…

Congrats Dr. Luka Petravić on a nice presentation on medical data reuse: asef.net/event/luka-pet…

Great end to second day of our aortic biomechanics symposium. Thank you @UChicago Global for the support, it was wonderful to have all collaborators from Vietnam, Israel, Chile, and Slovenia here on campus for the week.

Wonderful international mini-workshop on the physics of endoleak at University of Chicago Department of Surgery. Thank you to our visitors from Slovenia, Vietnam, Chile, and Israel for such stimulating discussions! @uchicagosurgery @UChicagoAorta @WeitzmanInst @usach

Congrats to Dr Kelly Twohig for a great poster on the shape diversity of patients treated with Nexus arch device at @VascularSVS #VRIC20. @uchicagosurgres @UChicagoAorta @EndospanLtd

@adardik @Alyssa_Varsanik @Carly_Thax @ajpheartcirc @YaleSurgery @YaleVBTProgram @YaleVascular @YaleMed Amazing working with the Dardik lab!

Congratulations Hualong @Alyssa_Varsanik @Carly_Thax @SurgBioMech great collaborative paper in @ajpheartcirc characterizing the AVF juxtaanastomosis area doi.org/10.1152/ajphea… @YaleSurgery @YaleVBTProgram @YaleVascular @YaleMed

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.

UChicago Surgery SQUAD is comin’ in hot!!! 🔥🔥🔥 @SNMA, we are so excited to connect with YOU at #AMEC2024! LET’S GOOOOO!!! @UChicagoOrtRes @UChicagoPRS @UChicagoUro @UChicagoOHNS @uchicagosurgres

It was amazing having @Edith_Tz be our 31st annual Huggins Research Day speaker. Amazing mentor, surgeon, and scientist. Thank you Dr. Tzeng for inspiring us all. @PittSurgery @UChiPritzker @uchicagosurgres @uchicagosurgery

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.

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

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

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!

Kameel Khabaz presenting his pioneering work at #ASC2024 on using local area expansion mapping as inputs for aortic morphoelastic modeling of TBAD degeneration. @UChicagoAorta @uchicagosurgery
