Hoda Fares

Hoda Fares is an Assistant Professor in the Department of Electrical and Computer Engineering at Aarhus University, specializing in neuroprosthetics and human-machine interfacing. Her research focuses on developing brain-inspired neural interfaces (BI-BCIs) that integrate neuromorphic hardware and flexible materials to restore sensorimotor function in individuals with disabilities such as stroke or amputation. She works on closed-loop systems combining bioinspired spiking neural networks (SNN) with low-power neuromorphic hardware.

Her expertise includes intelligent neuroprosthetics, tactile sensing technologies, and electrotactile stimulation for bionic limbs. Current projects involve wearable neuromorphic interfaces for bidirectional control of prostheses and enhancing rehabilitation systems through artificial sensory-motor restoration. Fares' work bridges artificial intelligence with neuroengineering to create adaptive, miniaturized neural implants.

Selected publications highlight advancements in functional electrical stimulation for stroke recovery, electronic skin validation, and multi-channel tactile feedback systems. Her research emphasizes clinical translation of technologies for real-world prosthetic applications, leveraging flexible/stretchable materials and distributed sensing networks.

Despite no listed academic awards, her contributions to tactile sensing and prosthetic control systems demonstrate significant innovation in biomedical engineering. Ongoing work includes collaborations on neuromorphic hardware design and validation of virtual prosthetic systems with tactile feedback interfaces.
