Kristen Jakubowski is an NIH F32 Postdoctoral Fellow at Emory University and Georgia Tech, working Drs. Lena Ting, Gregory Sawicki, and Aaron Young. Her research uses physiological inspiration to develop a generalizable framework for exoskeleton control that enhances balance during standing and walking. She aims to improve balance and reduce the risk of falling in high-risk individuals, including older adults, those with musculoskeletal injuries, or stroke survivors.

Outside the lab, Kristen enjoys biking, cooking, and playing with her dogs.
