This week's featured senior project team was sponsored by Systems Utilization Research For (SURF) Stanford Medicine, an interdisciplinary group of mathematicians, engineers, physicians, nurses, hospital administrators, and students dedicated to improving healthcare through the optimization of hospital operations.

Alexandra Barajas, Mary Frazier, Viviana Iglesias, and Jireh Mendoza analyzed pediatric heart transplant data from multiple institutions using statistical and machine learning methods. They identified key clinical factors that influence graft survival and developed a prototype decision-support framework to improve the assessment of donor-recipient compatibility.

As AI tools become commonplace in the workplace, the way teams form and collaborate will evolve. To explore this emerging field, Stanford HAI collaborated with Google DeepMind to launch the AI for Organizations Grand Challenge, an invitation for scholars worldwide to submit their best ideas for studying the future of collaboration within organizations.

More than 200 teams of faculty and PhD students from 156 universities responded to the challenge, which was co-organized by MS&E Associate Professor Melissa Valentine and co-judged by MS&E Emeritus Professor Bob Sutton.

This week’s featured senior project team was sponsored by Nest, a nonprofit organization dedicated to ethical handcraft and global artisan business development.

Chloe Clardy, Courtney Ogden, Sam Shors, and Ava Sorrento developed a structured investment strategy for Nest by designing a two-fund framework and recommending ESG-aligned portfolio allocations to balance liquidity, risk, and long-term growth.

Congratulations to MS&E faculty Pamela Hinds and Madeleine Udell, whose research projects each received one of 29 seed research grants from the Stanford Institute for Human-Centered AI!

Professor Udell's project, "Collaborative Code Generation for Complex Physical Simulations," will help scientists create specialized software called Partial-Differential Equation (PDE) solvers. The solvers will be used in a variety of applications, such as climate modeling.

Professor Hinds's project, "Robots, Cows, and Ground Truth Lost in the Void: How AI Experts Mobilize Dairy Farmers' Work to Close AI Learning Loops," will help AI systems on dairy farms learn from their mistakes and improve their accuracy over time.

We’re continuing to highlight a few of this year’s MS&E senior project teams, who all utilized a variety of techniques to help their sponsor organizations adapt to a rapidly changing world.

This week we’re featuring the team sponsored by House of Livara, a growing personal beauty company that produces shea butter–based skincare and cosmetic products.

Martin Jaramillo, Wiley Skaret, Conor Slattery, and Nick Thach developed a data-driven framework and optimization model for House of Livara to identify production bottlenecks, evaluate automation investments, and guide the design of a new manufacturing facility.
