Why did you apply for this internship?
My major is mathematics and statistics. Since I’ve already gained a solid foundation in statistical theory, I’m eager to apply this knowledge to real-world applications. This internship is a great opportunity for me to obtain hands-on experience with real data. My motivation also comes from the belief that researching health-related issues is both meaningful and impactful. I would love to explore this field further.

What do you hope to gain in completing this project?
Through this project, I hope to strengthen my data analysis skills by working with real-world datasets and applying statistical methods in a practical context. I also look forward to improving my communication skills and gaining a deeper understanding of real health issues - how they are identified, analyzed using data, and potentially addressed through evidence-based approaches.
