Biosketch

Dr. Yael Hanein received the B.Sc. degree in physics from Tel-Aviv University, Israel, and the M.Sc. and Ph.D. degrees in physics from the Weizmann Institute of Science, Israel. In 2003, she completed a four year tenure as a research associate in Electrical Engineering and Physics at the University of Washington, Seattle and joined the faculty of Tel-Aviv University, at Tel-Aviv, Israel. She is currently a Senior Lecturer at the school of Electrical Engineering at Tel-Aviv University. Her current interests include micro and nano systems. Dr. Yael Hanein’s research activity concerns with the development of electronic nano devices which are designed to interface with brain cells and to record their activity. These devices have far reaching applications in the realm of understanding brain disorders, the effect of drugs on the brain and the possibility to build implantable electronic brain chips.
