Saanvi Mehta is a Year 12 student at Mainland Regional High School in New Jersey. She hopes to study biomedical engineering and enjoys working on engineering projects.
Saanvi belongs to two robotics teams. One is the EHT PAL FIRST Robotics Team. The original article ranks the team first in New Jersey and tenth worldwide. It also receives guidance from mentors, including former NASA engineers.
In addition, Saanvi has won awards at state science fairs. Her awards recognise her work in microbiology and engineering. She also became an official young member of the New York Academy of Sciences.
Saanvi’s Research on Seizure Prediction
At CCIR, Saanvi joined the 1-on-1 Research Mentorship programme. With support from her professor mentor, she developed a project on predicting epileptic seizures.
Her research project is titled “On Demand Epileptic Seizure Prediction Using Neuromorphic Computing Artificial Intelligence with Potential for Optogenetic Response.”
To explore seizure prediction, Saanvi used neuromorphic computing and artificial intelligence. She applied a deep convolutional spiking neural network (DCSNN).
Her goal was to predict seizures before they occurred. Specifically, she aimed to develop a method with a lead time of 5 to 35 minutes.
Saanvi Presents Her Research at MIT
Saanvi’s research was accepted for presentation at the MIT IEEE Undergraduate Research Technology Conference. This achievement marks an important step in her academic journey.
Congratulations to Saanvi on her accomplishment!
