Research group description

In the AI group within the Faculty of Sport and Health Sciences, we focus on the use of existing AI tools or the development of new AI-driven methods to solve problems related to sports performance, medical imaging, and human movement. 

Across the group we have broad expertise in sport and exercise science (e.g. exercise physiology, biomechanics), as well as in AI and computer science. We work mainly with Python, but also with other languages such as Matlab.

Beyond our faculty, we collaborate with other faculties at JYU and other universities in Finland (e.g Tampere, University of Eastern Finland, Metropolia) and abroad. We also work closely with the Finnish Institute of High Performance Sport (KIHU), hospital NOVA, and various companies. In addition, we play a central role in JYU's Digital Citizen Science Centre

Our group are always open to new opportunities. If you are interested in working together, please contact group leader Prof. Neil Cronin.
