Kristof Kipp

Dr. Kristof Kipp is a Professor and Program Director of Exercise Science in the Department of Physical Therapy at Marquette University. He also serves as Co-Director of Graduate Studies for Sport and Data Analytics. His research focuses on sports science and biomechanics, particularly in musculoskeletal modeling, injury prevention, and athletic performance optimization. Dr. Kipp leads Marquette's Motion Analysis and Biomechanics Laboratory, applying advanced techniques to study movement patterns in athletes and clinical populations.

• Education: PhD in Nutrition and Exercise Sciences (Oregon State University), postdoc at University of Michigan
• Key Roles: Exercise Science Program Director, Co-Director of Graduate Studies

Research interests include joint-level biomechanics, neuromuscular control, and the application of machine learning in sports analytics. He teaches courses like Introduction to Research in Biomechanics and Advanced Applied Biomechanics in Injury Prevention.

Recent studies analyze weightlifting techniques, youth pitching biomechanics, and the effects of chronic ankle instability on movement. His work bridges clinical rehabilitation and elite athletic performance through innovative biomechanical modeling and data-driven approaches.
