Dr. Arielle G. Fischer is an Assistant Professor in the Faculty of Biomedical Engineering at the Technion – Israel Institute of Technology, where she founded and leads the BioMotion Lab.
She began her academic studies at MIT and earned her B.Sc. in Biomedical Engineering and M.Sc. and Ph.D. in Mechanical Engineering at the Technion. She conducted research at the University of Lausanne as a Swiss Government Excellence Scholar and subsequently completed her postdoctoral research at Stanford University, where she developed wearable vibrotactile technologies to improve knee biomechanics, reduce pain, and enhance mobility. In 2020, she joined the Technion as a Zuckerman Faculty Scholar, becoming the first graduate of its Faculty of Biomedical Engineering to return as a faculty member.
Her research combines human movement biomechanics, wearable sensing, artificial intelligence, and rehabilitation engineering to develop personalized technologies for assessing and improving mobility. Her work spans joint loading, wearable biofeedback, robotic exoskeletons, sports biomechanics, orthopedic rehabilitation, and healthy aging, with an emphasis on translating research into practical solutions that improve function and quality of life.
Her research has received competitive funding from the Israel Science Foundation (ISF), the Israeli Ministry of Innovation, Science and Technology (MOST) through a bilateral Czech-Israeli collaboration, and the Israel Ministry of Defence.
Dr. Fischer has received the Orthopaedic Research Society New Investigator Recognition Award (2018). In 2025, she was named among Israel’s 40 Under 40 Most Promising People and recognized by the Peres Center for Peace and Innovation for her contributions to rehabilitation during the war.
