Eric Rullman

Wearable Biofeedback Systems for Cardiovascular Health is a doctoral project at the Department of Biomedical Engineering and Health Systems at KTH Royal Institute of Technology. The position sits within the third-cycle subject Technology and Health and is embedded in the growing Intelligent Heart Technology Lab , which develops and studies implantable and wearable technologies for cardiovascular applications. The project focuses on the physical mechanisms behind the beneficial physiological effects of cardiac locomotor coupling . The doctoral student will work on a research programme that brings together advanced signal processing, physics-informed data science, embedded systems, and modelling of cardiovascular physiology. A central part of the work is the development and validation of technologies in human-subject studies, linking engineering methods with real-world biomedical application. The lab’s broader research environment includes wearable systems, blood pressure sensors, artificial hearts, and soft robotic technologies for the heart. The project is also highly interdisciplinary: the student will collaborate closely with clinicians at Karolinska Institute , supporting translational research aimed at innovations with practical health impact. The supervisory team includes Associate Professor Seraina Dual at KTH and Associate Professor Eric Rullman at Karolinska Institute.
