Qirui Zheng (Sara)

Hi! I’m Sara, a current student at UCSD majoring in Data Science and Cognitive Science specializing in Machine Learning and Neural Computation, with a minor in Business Economics. I am interested in the intersection of Data Science with other domains. Currently looking to pursue the path of Deep Learning and or Brain-Computer Interfaces. The current algorithms are modeled to align with the neuro system in the brain, it contains many more potentials yet to be discovered.

Apart from academics, I practice sports in Archery, and Badminton with instructional classes every quarter at UCSD.

Internships

NEATLABS

I am presently serving as an Assistant Research Intern at Neatlabs, where my primary focus lies in assessing the effectiveness of treatments for depressed patients by utilizing EEG data for analysis. Utilized tools in MATLAB - EEGLAB.

Projects

Data Science, an emerging field over the past decade, is brimming with potential. I am eager to explore the intersections of this field with others and uncover the benefits it can bring to society’s growth.

FMP - 23-24 Academic School Year

I am currently working with Professor Justin Eldridge on the quantification of depression diagnosis using EEG readings. Given the numerous confounds present in current diagnostic metrics, such as surveys, which are influenced by subjective ideals, our research aims to address these challenges.

Other Experiences
