Dr. Libby Pickering Rodriguez is a Lecturer in Sport and Exercise at the University of Technology Sydney (UTS), affiliated with the School of Sport, Exercise and Rehabilitation and the Faculty of Health. She specializes in biomechanical assessment of athletes, particularly focusing on performance optimization and injury risk mitigation in sports like cricket, netball, and Australian rules football. Her research utilizes advanced tools such as 3D motion capture and force platforms to analyze movement techniques.
Her research interests span neuromechanical factors in sports performance, injury prevention strategies, and the application of biomechanical principles to real-world athlete training. She has contributed to funded projects investigating fast bowling techniques in cricket, machine learning applications in performance analysis, and injury risk factors in elite athletes.
Teaching responsibilities include coordinating biomechanics subjects in Sport and Exercise Science and Management degrees. She collaborates with organizations like Cricket Australia and Cricket New South Wales on applied research initiatives. Her work emphasizes bridging academic research with practical sports science applications.
Grants and collaborations include projects on neuromechanical properties of muscle, machine learning in cricket analysis, and injury risk in medium-fast bowlers. She is a member of the Human Performance Research Centre at UTS, contributing to interdisciplinary sports science advancements.
