The New Frontier in Sports Science

This week we bring our virtual podcast studio to WA, where our hosts Shannan Osrin and Dr Kate Brooks, check in with University of Western Australia Associate Professor Jacqueline Alderson to discuss how sports science is improving athletes performance. Jacqueline, a leading sports scientist, explains her digital twin model that uses machine learning and Artificial Intelligence to enable researchers to perform real-time monitoring of a person’s health data and test scenarios on the data collected. We also chat to her about  her involvement with major sporting teams like the Australian women’s hockey team, the Hockeyroos. She also talks about the career satisfaction gained from mentoring her PhD students from their studies into industry jobs, in Australia and beyond.
