We are proud to celebrate our lab member Javier Mencia Ledo, a Summer Undergraduate Data Science (SUDS) 2025 Scholar, for his impactful research project, "Risk Factors and Early Prediction of Labour Force Dropout in SLE Patients: Integrating Longitudinal Deep Learning through a LSTM RNN with Random Forests." 
Javier's work applies neural networks to detect early warning signs of work disability in patients lupus, helping inform timely and effective interventions.  He recently presented his findings at the 2025 Data Science Institute (DSI) SUDS Showcase where he engaged with fellow researchers and shared insights from his project.
