Dr. Nili Krausz is an Assistant Professor in the Faculty of Mechanical Engineering at the Technion, where she directs the Neurobotics and Bionic Limbs Lab (eNaBLe). She holds B.S. and M.S. degrees in Mechanical Engineering from the University of Colorado Denver and a Ph.D. in Biomedical Engineering from Northwestern University (2019). She did her doctoral research at the Shirley Ryan AbilityLab in Chicago, where she developed vision-based control and intent-recognition methods for lower-limb prostheses. She was also a visiting researcher in the LASA Lab at EPFL. She then did postdoctoral research at the Weizmann Institute of Science with Prof. Tamar Flash and joined the Technion faculty in 2024 as the Brenda and Russell L. Frank Endowed Faculty Fellow. She received the VATAT Award for Excellent Young Faculty from a Hareidi background from the Israel Higher Education Council.
Krausz’s research combines biomechanics, neuroscience and robotics with the aim of building prosthetic limbs and exoskeletons that can anticipate what the user is about to do. Her goal is to develop assistive devices that are more autonomous and easier to use, with the ultimate goal to improve quality of life for people with physical disabilities.
