Kevin(Jian) Lu

I am a Master's student in Computer Science at Duke University, where I am fortunate to be advised by Professor Anru Zhang. My research interests lie in AI for Health and AI for Science.

My current work applies LLMs and agents to clinical data, including detecting documentation inconsistencies in electronic health records and answering natural-language questions over medical databases. I am also exploring generative modeling for proteins, with an interest in how computational methods can help address questions in biology and medicine.

More broadly, I enjoy learning from advances in AI, including large language models and diffusion models, and exploring how their underlying ideas can be adapted to meaningful problems in healthcare and the life sciences.

Previously, I obtained my B.S. in Computer Science from the University of Rochester, where I worked with Professor Jiebo Luo on computer vision methods for biomedical image analysis, and with Professor Christopher Kanan on evaluating multimodal large language models.
