I am a chaired Professor of Electrical Engineering at Tel Aviv University. In the past I conducted research at the Weizmann Institute (MSc and PhD in Physics), Princeton University (visiting student at the lab of Nobel Prize Laureate Prof. Dan Tsui), and at the University of Washington (Postdoc in Electrical Engineering and Physics). My research field is neuro-engineering, focusing on developing wearable electronic and bionic vision. Among many research grants I secured are 2 ERC grants.

My research group has pioneered the use of nanomaterials for neuro applications. She co-authored over 100 peer reviewed scientific publications, and delivered numerous scientific talks and popular presentations at schools, bars, and kindergartens, as well as at events such as Science Foo Camp, the WEF meetings, Falling Walls in Berlin, and Solve for X (by Google).

My activity received extensive media attention. In 2006 I was named in the list of the 40 most promising Israelis under 40 (The Marker), in 2012 I was included in the list of the 50 most influential women in Israel (Lady Globes), and in 2013 I was included in the list of the most innovative people in Israel (The Marker).

In 2009 I was among a group of (then) young researchers who founded the Global Young Academy and served on its first EC. In 2012 I was appointed to the Israel Young Academy by the Israel Academy and served for two years as the first head of its EC.

I have extensive connections with the industry, conducting sponsored research and joint projects. In 2009 I joined Rainbow Medical to help establish NanoRetina, a startup company developing artificial vision. In 2019 I co-founded X-trodes.

I was the co-founder of TAU Micro and Nano Central Facilities. Since 2012 and for 8.5 years, I was the head of TAU Center for Nanoscience and Nanotechnology, steering activities in Nanoscience and Nanotechnlogy. Since 2013 I was also co-directing XIN, a joint research center with Tsinghua Tsinghua University, focusing on young researchers and research projects geared towards benefiting society.
