Maybe she's just trying to be friendly and strike up conversation to pass the time, i.e. like a normal female human being, with someone in the same educational situation she's currently in.
Or maybe she's showing an interest in getting to know you and your interests because just maybe she's looking for 'someone' beyond the stereotypical rich boyfriend; because for all you know (because you keep trying to avoid her) perhaps he's rich and also a total dumbass who doesn't 'get' what she's studying for and/or who can't keep up with her on a mental/intelligence level, meanwhile here she is cooped up in a lab with someone who IS researching their own PhD and so presumably does 'get' what her PhD is all about and who probably could keep up with her intelligence/mentally.
So who says you can't 'have her'? People have met and ended up together (as friends, or more) in way stranger situations than being alone in a lab together for extended periods, so how about you grow a pair, stop trying to avoid her, and just relax and enjoy the fact that an actual intelligent female member of the species who isn't family is actually showing some kind of a personal interest in you, and then who knows, maybe you'll become friends, or maybe it'll go further, but if you don't stop hiding from her in plain sight, you'll spend foreverafter wondering 'what if...' and that just sucks more than anything.
