Shahar Goren
Ph.D Research Student
I am doing my Ph.D. in the faculty of chemistry, studying the nonlinear and anisotropic properties of fibrous biomaterials, incorporating simulations, experiments in optical tweezers and confocal microscopy.
Yoni Koren
Ph.D Research Student
During my doctoral studies, I study the interactions between cells and the influence of the mechanics of the cell environment on their function at different scales, using mainly finite element modelling.
