About Me

 

My name is Huiqi Yvonne Lu. I am a passionate biomedical and machine learning engineer buzzing with ideas and aspire to real-world impact, especially in developing digital health innovations for everyone, anywhere.

 

Many colleagues and friends call me Yvonne (middle name) or Luqi (nickname since childhood, pronounced as lu ch-ii). Huiqi is my official first name, pronounced as Hwei ch-ii. 

In my current role, I served as an academic Faculty Member, Co-chair of the researchers' committee at the Department of Engineering Science, and a Stipendiary Lecturer in Engineering Science at Worcester College, University of Oxford. I also hold an Honorary Research Fellow position at the George Institute for Global Health, Imperial College London. 

 

In professional service, I served as an Associate Editor of Nature npj Women's Health, a Chief Editor of a Special Collection of Advances in AI for Women's Health, Reproductive Health, and Maternal Care: Bridging Innovation and Healthcare, and a guest editor of Frontier Signal Processing. I have served as a workshop committee member and junior round table chair at notable conferences, including ICLR (PMLDC)NeurIPs (ML4H)IJCAI(KDHD), and the PHME. I also actively contribute to the IEEE Standard Committee for P3191: Performance Monitoring of Machine Learning-enabled Medical Devices in Clinical Use.
