Saanvi Mehta is a year 12 student at Mainland Regional Highschool in New Jersey. She is highly interested in pursuing biomedical engineering and has always loved engineering, as demonstrated by her extracurriculars. She’s on the two robotics team, one of which is the EHT PAL First Robotics Team, #1 first robotics team in the state of New Jersey and #10 in the World, guided by a diverse group of mentors including former NASA engineers.
Saanvi won various awards in State Science Fairs for both microbiology and the engineering category. Due to her hard work and dedication, she was accepted as an official young member of the New York Academy of Sciences.
In CCIR, she joined the 1-on-1 mentorship programme where she developed her research project, “On Demand Epileptic Seizure Prediction Using Neuromorphic Computing Artificial Intelligence with Potential for Optogenetic Response.” Her research project utilises novel neuromorphic computing AI, a deep convolutional spiking neural network (DCSNN), for Epileptic seizure prediction. The goal of her project was to develop a method for accurately predicting epileptic seizures with a lead time of 35 to 5 minutes.
We’re beyond proud that her research project was accepted, and she was able to present it at the MIT IEEE Undergraduate Research Technology Conference this year.
Congratulations, Saanvi!
