Biography

W. Mugge is an Assistant Professor at Delft University of Technology, specializing in Neuromechanics and Motor Control within the Department of Biomechanical Engineering. He aims to enhance the understanding of movement disorders through a control-theoretical approach. With an MSc in Mechanical Engineering, he focuses on biomechatronics and biorobotics, conducting pioneering research through system identification techniques to quantify muscle force feedback in patients with complex regional pain syndrome (CRPS). His research integrates functional MRI with robotic manipulators to explore pathological brain networks and sensory perturbations impacting human motor control. As a postdoctoral researcher, he has developed haptic shared control paradigms and led national and international collaborations resulting in commercially available technologies. With extensive teaching experience, he supervises PhD and MSc students and leads projects targeting orthoses for specific movement disorders, including innovations like MRI-compatible haptic manipulators. Mugge's contributions have been published in high-impact journals, making significant advancements in understanding and assisting human motor control.
