Biography
Dr. Daniel A. Jacobs is an Assistant Professor in the Department of Mechanical Engineering at Temple University. Dr. Jacobs completed his Ph.D. in the Mechanical Enginering department of Stanford University working with Dr. Kenneth Waldron in the Robotic Locomotion laboratory. Previously, he worked as a Postdoctoral Fellow in Bioengineering with Dr. Scott Delp at Stanford University in the Neuromuscular Biomechanics laboratory and as a Postdoctoral Fellow in Kinesiology with Dr. Daniel Ferris at the University of Michigan Human Neuromechanics laboratory.
He was selected as a fellow of the Interdisciplinary Rehabilitation Engineering Research Career Development Program (IREK12). His research focuses on the neuromechanics of walking in collaborative human-robot systems, specifically exoskeletons and prosthetic systems for rehabilitation and assistance.
