Abstract
ECR Spotlight is a series of interviews with early-career authors from a selection of papers published in Journal of Experimental Biology and aims to promote not only the diversity of early-career researchers (ECRs) working in experimental biology during our centenary year but also the huge variety of animals and physiological systems that are essential for the ‘comparative’ approach. Kristen Jakubowski is an author on ‘ Non-linear properties of the Achilles tendon determine ankle impedance over a broad range of activations in humans’, published in JEB. Kristen conducted the research described in this article while a PhD candidate in Eric J. Perreault and Sabrina S. M. Lee's lab at Northwestern University, USA. She is now a Postdoctoral Fellow in the lab of Lena H. Ting and Gregory S. Sawicki at Emory University and Georgia Institute of Technology, USA, investigating an individual's neuromuscular control and their interactions with robotic devices and evaluating how devices can be designed and controlled to restore and augment human mobility.
