Episode 43: Optimizing Sports Performance through Simulation, Modeling, and Machine Learning | John McPhee

from Biomechanics on our Minds

We talked with Professor John McPhee, whose research focuses on modeling, simulation, model-based control, and optimal design of dynamic physical systems. He is able to apply his expertise in modeling and simulation widely, to everything from golf, to cars, to improving athletic performance. He also shares his 3 tips for being a good team leader: 1) Remember that “it’s all about people.” 2) Everyone in the group should learn from each other 3) Make it fun.
