We present progress on our project aimed at enhancing predictive simulations in mechan- ics through the integration of Learning the effective dynamics (LED) [1] and Bayesian methods. Our framework, built on Korali [1] — an open-source platform for optimization and uncertainty quantification—encompasses a multiphysics microscale engine and an adaptive micro-scale surrogate framework based on LED. This comprehensive framework encompasses a multiphysics microscale engine and an adaptive surrogate framework, augmented by hierarchical Bayesian methods, ensuring iterative enhancements in simulation precision and efficiency. Our ramework’s application in patient-specific cancer immunotherapy illustrates its po- tential in revolutionizing personalized treatment strategies. This demonstration emphasizes the framework’s practical applications in bioengineering and medical sciences, par- ticularly in tailoring patient-specific therapies. Our presentation showcases the tangible impact of this integrated approach on predictive simulations and personalized medicine.
