Professor Jacqueline Alderson is Director of Tech and Human Performance at UCLA DataX and Special Advisor for the LA28 Olympic and Paralympic Games. She is Global Lead of The Athlete Research Collective (ARC), an international research program endorsed by the Global Alliance for Female Athletes (GAFA), an eleven-nation alliance of national high-performance sport institutes. ARC is building the first global evidence base in elite female athlete health and performance, spanning the Los Angeles 2028 and Brisbane 2032 Olympic and Paralympic Games. Her research spans three-dimensional biomechanical modelling, applied machine learning for human movement, and the governance of athlete and biometric data. The upper limb models she co-developed became the regulatory standard for illegal bowling action assessment in international cricket, and her upper and lower limb models and data collection protocols were established in 2023 as the national biomechanical standard for the Australian Institute of Sport and the National Institute Network. She was scientific and technical lead on the Australian Academy of Science report *Getting Ahead of the Game: Athlete Data in Professional Sport* (2022) and co-authored the resulting national best practice principles adopted by the Australian Sports Commission (2023). She has published more than 260 research outputs, including 102 refereed journal articles and 90 refereed conference papers, and has supervised 76 research students to completion, among them 27 doctoral candidates, eight of whom have received national or international awards. She was the first woman appointed Professor of Sport Biomechanics within Australia’s Group of Eight research-intensive universities and is; a Fellow of the International Society of Biomechanics (2025) and of the International Society of Biomechanics in Sports (2013), recipient of the ISBS Geoffrey Dyson Award for career achievement (2024), and the inaugural Fulbright Professional Alliance Senior Scholar (2023/24). She has served two terms as an elected Director on the Executive Council of the International Society of Biomechanics in Sports and two on that of the International Society of Biomechanics, and holds honorary and adjunct professorial appointments at the University of Queensland and Griffith University.
