Maya Davidovich-Pinhas

Dr. Maya Davidovich-Pinhas gained her BSc in Biochemical Engineering and both her MSc and PhD in the Chemical Engineering department at the Technion, Israel. During her graduate studies, she focused on the development of hydrogel systems for mucoadhesion aiming for biomedical and pharmaceutical applications. Her post-doctoral fellowship at University of Guelph concentrated on oil-based gels, termed oleogels, where she worked on the formation and characterization of oleogels for various applications.

Since 2015, she has been the head of the lipid and soft matter laboratory in the faculty of Biotechnology and Food engineering, Technion, Israel. The research done in her lab combines material science and engineering concepts toward the development of new soft matter systems for biotechnology and food applications. More specifically, her research focuses on structure-property-function relation of soft matter biomaterials using x-ray diffraction techniques, microscopy, thermal analysis, rheology and texture analysis.
