Additional information
Renate List received her degree in Physical Education Teaching and Coaching from the ETH Zurich in spring 2002. Thereon, she continued her education with the diploma course in Human Movement Science at the ETH Zurich including an internship at the Biomechanics Research Laboratory at the University of Wollongong, Australia (graduation with a diploma in Natural Sciences in spring 2005). After her diploma thesis in the Movement Analysis Group of the Laboratory for Biomechanics of the ETH Zurich, which involved the development of a new skin marker set and analysis routine, she carried out her PhD entitled “Joint Kinematics of Unconstrained Ankle Arthroplasties” under the supervision of Prof. Dr. E. Stüssi (2005-2009). From 2009 until 2011, as a postdoctoral fellow, she extended this line of research and successfully conducted an industry funded functional outcome study of total ankle arthroplasty subjects using videofluoroscopy.
In 2011 she was appointed Senior Research Associate and managed an industry funded project on the in vivo performance of a total knee arthroplasty. Since 2013 she is the leader of the Clinical Movement Biomechanics Group. Current research includes the in vivo assessment of the functional outcome of different knee arthroplasties as well as the understanding of the kinematics of the normal knee. She has a strong methodological interest in whole body skin marker assessment and movement analysis of single joints and implants by means of videofluoroscopy.
Her work was awarded with several prizes such as the ISB student dissertation award (2007), the Young Investigator Award from the International Society of Biomechanics (2009) and the International Society of Biomechanics Award on the occasion of the 7th Conference of the German Society for Biomechanics (DGfB) in Murnau (2011).
Since 2010 she is a lecturer in Biomechanics at a bachelor and master level for Human Movement Science and Mechanical Engineering students (2010-2013), and since 2013 in Health Sciences and Technology at ETH Zurich.
