Lumina was studying genetic engineering and biology before she was reaped. She kept up her research after her arena, especially work on difficult medical-related issues that she hoped would make up for being a part of the Games machine.
Beyond the professional, she's also very broad-minded--the opposite of the monomaniacal scientist stereotype. She particularly enjoys literature and philosophy. She has an extensive collection of books, particularly banned volumes of pre-Panem literature and thought (she tucks them in among the many 'legitimate' books she owns, and none of the Capitol goon squad thinks to look for them in plain sight).
Lu is the only one of my victors who's religious. She shares the Christian beliefs of her parents and many of the others in their pacifist anti-Capitol movement (though obviously she wasn't able to be the martyr they were hoping for). Those beliefs keep her out of the self-destructive side of victor culture. Much of her mental run time has been dedicated to trying to find a philosophically consistent approach to the problem of Capitol oppression (that doesn't end as disastrously as her parents' non-violent resistance movement).
