I currently work across academia and industry as a Senior Research Fellow at the Human Performance Research Centre (University of Technology Sydney) as well as Research and Data Scientist at Rugby Australia.I enjoy working with stakeholders in human performance and other areas to collect, analyse, visualise and interpret data via evidence-based research, rigorous statistical analysis and effective visualisation and BI tools e.g. Tableau, R, SQL, AWS, Smartabase and Excel. My research mainly investigates human performance in various domains such as sports, esports, and military settings. This includes aspects such as physical, technical, tactical and decision-making performance at both individual and team levels to ultimately achieve successful outcomes. I obtained my PhD at the University of Newcastle and have published >45 peer reviewed scientific papers. I also hold accreditation as a Level 2 sports scientist (ASpS2) and exercise scientist (AES) through ESSA. I am subject coordinator for "Performance analysis and data science" in the Masters of high performance sport degree, and teach in Data Management for Sport and Exercise. Additional experience included a previous employment at Australian sports technology company Fusion Sport, working with their Smartabase athlete management platform. I've developed numerous pieces of software for Web, PC, Mac, iPad, iPhone, and Android - usually via Unity3D or R Shiny. I trained with Specialized Bicycles as a bicycle fitting specialist, servicing >200 clients. This involved applying principles of anatomy and physiology to minimise injury and improve comfort from beginners to elite cyclists. I also gained 10 yr experience as a bicycle mechanic and working in retail.Twitter: @NovakSportSci
