My name is Qiuran (Rita) Lyu. I am a second-year student in the UC Berkeley Biostatistics Division MA/PhD track. I am extremely fortunate to be advised by Dr. Jingshen Wang. Before coming to Berkeley, I completed my undergraduate major in Statistics and minor in Fintech from Renmin University of China Statistics department and Gaoling School of Artificial Intelligence. In 2022, I was fortunate to be a visiting student at JSB lab in UCLA and advised by Dr. Jingyi Jessica Li and Dr. Xinzou Shawn Ge and a visiting student at Dr. Jun S. Liu's lab in Harvard University. From then on, I developed great interest in the junction of Statistics and Artificial Intelligence for Biology & Healthcare tasks.

My research interests lie in Causal Inference, Health equity, LLM inference, Computational Biology, and AI for Science & Healthcare. I am currently working on the topic "How to develop a robust metric to have better statistical inference in finetuned (multimodal) LLM, especially for Alzheimer's Disease".
