My Name Is Sarit Nagel
I am grateful for the opportunity to be a research student in the eNaBLe Neurorobotics and Bionic Limbs Lab at the Technion in Israel.
This experience has been incredibly rewarding, both academically and personally. In the lab, I’m contributing to a global open-source prosthetics project by helping to improve a bionic ankle design by integrating a mechanism that enables more accurate torque measurements. Seeing concepts from my engineering courses applied to real research has brought textbook theories to life, providing hands-on lessons that no lecture hall could offer.
Beyond the lab, the experience has been just as meaningful. Everyone I’ve met, both within the program and across the Technion community, has been exceptionally welcoming. It has been inspiring to work alongside students from more than five countries, learning not only about engineering and scientific research but also about cultures and perspectives from around the world.
One of the highlights of my time here was attending the Israeli Conference of Mechanical Engineering, where I heard from researchers and industry leaders presenting innovative technologies and cutting-edge projects.
The Technion is truly a special place. I am incredibly grateful to Technion Canada and Mr. Harry Lebovic for providing me with this opportunity to learn from world-class researchers, build friendships with talented students from around the globe, and contribute to meaningful biomedical engineering research.
