Hila’s research is focused on the dynamic properties, form and structure of materials. Her work process is enhancing aesthetic opportunities aiming at creating a novel human interaction experience with a thorough understanding and use of materials and technologies.

Every day is a playground full of curiosities and discoveries. Outside of the lab, her favorite environment is being surrounded by plants and nature. When indoors, you can find her sketching ideas, being fascinated of simple yet complex forms like the inner structure of a zucchini, or trying to grow an avocado in an upside down configuration.
