About Claire Buchi
Hello! My name is Claire, and I am an incoming sophomore at Columbia University from Los Angeles, California studying Medical Humanities and Public Health on the pre-med track. Some of my academic interests include metacognition, writing, and health equity from an educational and technical perspective.
This summer, I am conducting eye-tracking chemistry education research, analyzing how learners approach challenging questions and developing an AI tutor that can encourage more effective problem-solving strategies across a broad demographic.
In my free time, I love dancing, running, reading and trying new places to eat around New York. Feel free to reach out to talk research or to just say hello!

I really enjoyed reading your post and can totally relate to the struggle of composing a culminating statement about your research when there is still so much more you want to do. Wishing you luck as your project continues post-June! Coding was not part of my original plan either, nor something I had attempted before, but I also found an amazing librarian (Wei Yin in the Data Services department) to be an invaluable mentor for R coding. Would love to chat sometime about ArcGIS and hear more about how it optimized your research.
Wishing you luck on your IHC assays! For a FroSci research project last semester, I investigated the effects of chronic stress on the hippocampus and human habits that contribute most to the growth or shrinking of memory capacity. I am super fascinated learning about your work diving deeper to conduct a neuron-level analysis of stress's effects and the control the peripheral sensory neurons have in our perception of pain. I'm curious to hear about your findings and understand if chronic stress not only decreases our grey matter volume but also contributes to physical pain that we perceive to experience.
Hi Ruchi! I love what you said about leaders knowing when to step down from a position of power at times. Listening to others and deferring to those in a group with more expertise may feel degrading for a leader who prioritizes their "status," but true leaders understand the value of their team and rely on them to contribute meaningfully to the collective effort.
Hi Celine! I am so curious about your ecological focus regarding the effects of Japanese imperialism and your decision to switch to emphasize this facet of literature in particular. I wouldn't have anticipated that the ecological literature would reveal cultural transformations, such as that fueled by imperialism, and I can't wait to read about your findings. And the Rare Book and Manuscript Library looks amazing! That must be such an inspiring place to work.
Wow, the public health connection to your research is very interesting and important, especially regarding the mental health comorbidities and racial disparities associated with AD. Looking forward to seeing your results! (Also, I loved our Mama's Too trip!)
This is amazing!
Thank you!
