Jason WeberView profile
Part-Time Lecturer
Jason Weber serves as an Adjunct Lecturer in the School of Human Sciences at The University of Western Australia, contributing to the UWA Tech & Policy Lab. His work bridges sports science, data analytics, and technology governance with a specialized focus on Australian Rules Football. He holds a doctorate and has established expertise in biomechanics, machine learning applications, and ethical data frameworks within professional sports contexts. His research spans sports biomechanics (ground contact time, reaction forces), machine learning (neural networks for athlete tracking), and data governance. He integrates computer vision, social network analysis, and inertial measurement units to develop field-based performance evaluation methods. Key interests include validity/reliability testing of measurement techniques and ethical implications of athlete data collection in professional sports. Recent publications (2022-2024) demonstrate a concentrated focus on Australian Rules Football analytics using neural networks for location tracking and social network analysis for strategy clustering. His work consistently addresses the intersection of technology, ethics, and policy in sports data management, with increasing emphasis on real-time field applications and governance frameworks. Scientific Awards: No specific awards, fellowships, or medals are documented in the available information. Dr. Weber actively engages in policy-oriented collaborations, co-organizing a 2020 working group on professional sport data collection and participating in the 'Calling the Game' public event on sports technology governance. These initiatives highlight his role in shaping ethical data practices, though no formal student advising or grant funding details are provided. He operates within the UWA Tech & Policy Lab's interdisciplinary environment, collaborating with sports scientists, computer vision experts, and legal scholars. His current work emphasizes practical field applications of AI in sports performance analysis and developing governance models for athlete data systems.
