Jake Hinkel-Lipsker, PhD
Biography
I am an Associate Professor in the Department of Kinesiology. I have a Ph.D. in Human Physiology from the University of Oregon and a M.S. in Kinesiology from Cal Poly, San Luis Obispo. My research focuses on understanding control of gait and balance in both healthy populations and those with movement disorders, especially when incorporating new technologies such as virtual and augmented reality. While at CSUN, I have taught KIN 309-Science and Technology in Sport, KIN 445-Advanced Biomechanics, KIN 477-Motor Development, KIN 479-Motor Control, KIN 575/L-Biomechanical Analysis Techniques and Lab, KIN 579-Advanced Studies in Motor Behavior, and KIN 601-Advanced Evidence-Based Practice in Kinesiology.
Current Projects
NSF-M3X: “Improving motor learning and rehabilitation via experimental bidirectional dynamic human-virtual reality interaction systems” (Aug 2022-Aug 2025).
