Hi! I'm Reva Bhatt, a high school researcher, innovator, and aspiring engineer passionate about using technology to solve real-world problems. I am currently a rising senior at Great Valley High School in Malvern, PA. Whether it's training machine learning models to detect tool failure in dentistry or developing Java programs to find the roots of high-degree polynomials, I thrive at the intersection of science, software, and service.
Over the years, I've conducted research in collaboration with institutions like the University of Pennsylvania and Villanova University, where I worked on CT scan segmentation and early fault detection in endodontic files. Using MATLAB, Python, and signal processing techniques like FFT and Wavelet Transforms, I built a predictive system to enhance safety in root canal procedures—work that earned me awards at the Delaware Valley Science Fair and recognition from Air Products.
I'm also the founder of Arts.care, a nonprofit that's raised over $17,000 through art-driven community events, mobilizing students across schools to give back. In addition, I've participated in NASA's GeneLab program and currently work with Nth Solutions to develop real-world prototypes involving hardware and firmware.
When I'm not coding or researching, I love community building, VR design, and working on initiatives that merge empathy with innovation. I'm on a mission to keep learning, experimenting, and creating technologies that make a meaningful impact.
In my free time, I love getting creative and unwinding through small joys—whether that's whisking up a perfect cup of matcha, experimenting with new recipes or cuisines, or sketching and painting when inspiration strikes. I'm always up for discovering cozy cafes or hole-in-the-wall food spots, especially with friends. Some of my favorite memories come from spontaneous hangouts, late-night taco bell runs, or just laughing over shared playlists and Pinterest boards. Art, food, and friendships are my favorite ways to recharge and stay inspired.
