Glen Charlton | Jan 29th 2024

Intersect’s Advanced Analytics and AI Platform (3AI) is pleased to announce a new collaboration with University of New England’s (UNE) Exercise and Sports Science academic, Dr Cloe Cummins, on a project to investigate the directional movement patterns undertaken in field sports.

The Exercise and Sports Science Discipline at UNE has a strong research track record in supporting the training, monitoring, and performance of team sport athletes.

Through combining the respective expertise of UNE and Intersect’s Advanced Analytics and AI Platform, Dr Cloe Cummins and the broader research team are,

“excited about the collaborative project potential which will support innovative analytical approaches being applied to exercise and sports science research”.

This project will involve data wrangling of large datasets, machine learning, and novel research outputs.
