About
Dr. Honieh Hemati is a pioneering neurobioengineer whose research lies at the intersection of advanced materials, optoelectronics, and neural engineering. Her key contributions focus on developing non-genetic neuromodulation strategies, particularly using graphene-based optoelectronic actuators to precisely control and probe neural activity without altering the natural genetic makeup of neurons. In her highly cited 2025 work (7 citations), she introduced a groundbreaking approach that leverages light as a tunable trigger for neurobioengineering, enabling applications in disease modeling, stem cell maturation, and biohybrid robotics—all while preserving the native activity of neural circuits. This work addresses a critical limitation of conventional optogenetics, which requires genetic modification. Dr. Hemati’s research has the potential to transform therapies for neurological disorders and advance regenerative medicine. Her innovative integration of graphene’s unique properties with optical stimulation marks a significant step toward minimally invasive, high-precision neural interfaces, positioning her as a rising leader in the field of biohybrid systems and neural tissue engineering.
