Professor Yael Hanein is a Full Professor at the School of Electrical Engineering, Tel Aviv University, where she also serves as the head of the University Center for Nanoscience and Nanotechnology. She established the Neuro-Engineering Lab in 2003 as one of six core laboratories of the Tel-Aviv University Center for Nanoscience and Nanotechnology and is affiliated with the Sagol School of Neuroscience.
Her research focuses on:
- Nanotechnology applications for neuronal interfaces
- Micro and nano devices for direct and indirect brain interfacing
- Novel materials for artificial retina applications
- Skin electronics for electrophysiology
- Microfabrication methods for biological applications
Professor Hanein's recent work demonstrates significant trends in applying nanotechnology to medical diagnostics, particularly in developing printed electrode technology for home-based sleep monitoring as an alternative to traditional polysomnography, addressing limitations in availability, cost, and labor intensity.
Her scientific recognition includes:
- ERC grant for young researchers (2012)
- World Economic Forum's Young Scientists selection (2009)
- Membership in the Young Israeli Academy of Sciences (since 2012)
- Membership in the World Academy of Young Scientists (since 2010)
Professor Hanein's research is supported by diverse funding sources including ISF, ERC, GIF, Israeli Ministry of Science, Israeli Ministry of Industry and Trade, and industrial partnerships. She also serves as VP at 'Nano Retina,' an Israeli startup developing retinal implants, demonstrating the translational potential of her academic work.
The Neuro-Engineering Lab maintains strong interdisciplinary connections across the university's neuroscience and engineering disciplines.
