Also have a background in systems biology here, originally a chemical engineer. Used to do "sensitivity analysis" and parameter fitting on a bunch of PK models for pharma labs. Drifted to ML and now in the LLM space.

Prompt engineering - indeed a glorified way of plugging in values and see where comes out/where it takes you. I remember I did not enjoy guess-timating parameter bounds on a global search, and couldn't "configure" simulations as well as my experienced colleague. But well, here I am.
