Dr. Hadar Ben-Yoav

Dr. Hadar Ben-Yoav undertook his B.Sc. (2004) in the multidisciplinary program of physics and biology, his M.Sc. (2006) in biotechnology, and Ph.D. (2010) in electrical engineering under the supervision of Professors Yosi Shacham-Diamand and Amihay Freeman from Tel Aviv University, Israel. Dr. Ben-Yoav completed his post-doctoral research (2015) at the Department of Electrical and Computer Engineering at the University of Maryland. Currently, Dr. Ben-Yoav is the head of the Nanobioelectronics Laboratory and is an associate professor at the Department of Biomedical Engineering in Ben-Gurion University of Negev. His research team focuses on interfacing biology with microelectronics. In particular, they study the integration of biological materials (such as DNA, proteins, and cells) with micro- and nano-electronic devices and harness their unique functionalities for the development of the next generation of personalized health monitoring applications (such as electronic skin patches and implantable sensors that can continuously monitor our health).
