Arnav Reddy is a rising senior at Bellarmine College Preparatory in San Jose, California. He won the Best Paper Award at the 2024 IEEE 6th Eurasia Conference on Biomedical Engineering, Healthcare, and Sustainability (IEEE ECBIOS 2024). The conference took place in Tainan, Taiwan, from June 14 to June 16, 2024.
Arnav’s Award-Winning Research
Arnav’s paper, “Modeling of PEDOT Electrodes for Skin-Based Technologies as Discrete Electrical Components,” compares PEDOT and plain metal electrodes. He used computer simulations to examine their impedance values. His findings highlight the potential of PEDOT electrodes for health monitoring devices.
These technologies could support sensor-based physiological monitoring and help detect illnesses. His research explores how bioengineering can contribute to healthcare innovation.
Experience in Bioengineering and Robotics
Arnav has also participated in university programmes focused on bioengineering. These experiences helped him expand his knowledge of research and related scientific topics.
In addition, he is a member of his school’s Robotics Team 254. He has competed in VEX and FTC as a builder and manufacturer. His team received design and innovation awards for its robot designs and functionality.
Commitment to Healthcare and Community Service
Beyond STEM, Arnav founded a mental health club at his school in partnership with NAMI. The club raises awareness and encourages students to learn about mental health.
He also volunteers at a public hospital in California. Currently, he is interning at an eye hospital in India. There, he supports outreach camps and explores ways to improve the quality of care. His work also includes conducting case studies and interacting with patients from underserved communities.
Presenting Research at IEEE ECBIOS 2024
At CCIR Academy, Arnav developed his research skills under the mentorship of Dr. Ivan Dimov. Presenting his paper at IEEE ECBIOS 2024 gave him the opportunity to engage with professors from around the world.
The conference explored how technology can transform healthcare. It also highlighted interdisciplinary collaboration, accessibility, and ethical practices. According to the original article, the conference proceedings were to be submitted to the IEEE Xplore Digital Library and Engineering Proceedings for indexing.
Congratulations to Arnav on this outstanding achievement!
