I am a Postdoctoral Fellow at Yale University, where I investigate flexible electronics, responsive materials, and adaptive soft robotic systems. I hold a PhD in Nanoscience, Nanotechnology, and Chemical Engineering from the Technion, where I developed smart nanosensors and biosensors as well as flexible, wearable, and implantable electronic technologies for applications in healthcare, environmental monitoring, and disease diagnosis. My research integrates nanotechnology, biomaterials, mechanobiology, and robotics to develop next-generation intelligent systems inspired by nature and living organisms. My interests include nanosensors, biosensors, wearable and implantable technologies, responsive and biodegradable materials, cell biomechanics, soft robotics, and flexible and stretchable electronic systems.
I have received four competitive fellowships supporting my postdoctoral research: the AAUW International Fellowship, Eric and Wendy Schmidt Postdoctoral Award, VATAT Scholarship, and Rothschild Postdoctoral Fellowship. I was also named to the MIT Innovators Under 35 MENA list.
