About
Dr. Dekel Rosenfeld is a Senior Lecturer in the Department of Biomedical Engineering at Tel Aviv University, affiliated with The Iby and Aladar Fleischman Faculty of Engineering. He holds a Ph.D. in Biomedical Engineering from the Technion (2015) and conducted postdoctoral research at MIT's Bioelectronics group (2016-2022), focusing on magnetothermal approaches for peripheral nerve/organ interfaces and gut-brain axis studies.
- Education:
- B.Sc. in Biomedical Engineering (Cum Laude, 2007), Technion
- M.Sc. in Biomedical Engineering (Direct Track, 2010), Technion
- Ph.D. in Biomedical Engineering (2015), Technion
His research develops magnetic functional materials for remote neuromodulation and calcium-dependent processes in peripheral organs. Key applications include treating hormonal imbalances in mental health disorders like PTSD through adrenal stress hormone control, and advancing organ-brain communication understanding using minimally invasive techniques validated in vitro and in vivo.
Recent publications (2020-2025) demonstrate expertise in magnetothermal stimulation, bioelectronic interfaces, and neuro-endocrine interactions, with notable work in Science Advances and Neuron. Current projects explore in silico thermal transducer optimization and 3D magnetic collagen gels for cellular control.
