Ruoli Wang

Ruoli Wang is an Associate Professor at the Department of Engineering Mechanics, KTH Royal Institute of Technology. She holds a BEng (2004) from Southeast University and MSc/PhD (2007/2012) in Engineering Mechanics from KTH. Her research focuses on biomechanical methodologies for neuromusculoskeletal systems, combining medical imaging, musculoskeletal modeling, and optimization. She leads projects on digital twins for neurorehabilitation and PelvicMIM for childbirth-related injuries. She is a member of the Promobilia MoveAbility Lab and affiliated with the Division of Paediatric Neurology at Karolinska Institutet. Awards include the ISB Clinical Biomechanics Award (2023) and Docent title in Biomechanics (2022).

Her research interests include in vivo muscle morphology quantification, neural-muscle interaction, and wearable sensor technologies. She teaches courses like Biomechanics of Human Movement and oversees degree projects in Engineering Physics and Mechanics. Major grants include funding from Stiftelsen Promobilia, Carlssons Stiftelse, and the Swedish Research Council.

Her lab develops non-invasive methods to estimate muscle neuromechanics, with applications in clinical assessment and biofeedback-based rehabilitation. Current projects address personalized medicine in neurorehabilitation and real-time musculotendon parameter estimation.
