 vide an overview of the diverse research conducted at the Athlete Engineer
 ing Institute (AEI). Projects discussed will cover wearable technologies\,
  human performance\, and human factors\, focusing on various athlete perso
 nas\, including sports\, tactical\, industrial\, and at-risk athletes. The
  interdisciplinary nature of AEI&#39;s research involves multiple fields\, suc
 h as engineering\, kinesiology\, and fashion design and merchandising. Dav
 id will share lessons learned on how to foster a thriving R&amp;D environment\
 , emphasizing the importance of creating a team-focused culture and learni
 ng to speak a common language. This talk aims to equip attendees with tool
 s and insights for applying these principles in their own careers and work
 places. David recently received the 2024 Bagley College of Engineering Res
 earch Support Staff Award and 2024 Zacharias Distinguished Staff Award for
  his work as lab manager for the Athlete Engineering Research Lab\, includ
 ing his efforts with student mentorship and collaboration.\n\nBio: David S
 aucier earned his BS in Computer Engineering and MS in Electrical and Comp
 uter Engineering from Mississippi State University\, and has experience wo
 rking in software development as a co-op at ADTRAN\, Inc. David now applie
 s industry-standard software and automation solutions to human performance
  and human factors problems. As the manager of the Athlete Engineering Res
 earch Lab\, he trains and mentors students across disciplines on using the
  lab’s gold-standard equipment\, including motion capture\, force plates
 \, instrumented treadmills and electromyography. His research focuses on h
 uman performance and validation of novel wearable technologies. David supp
 orts research with industry partners like Toyota\, ABB Motors\, Ingalls Sh
 ipbuilding\, and the Mississippi Highway Patrol\, and collaborates with ve
 ndors to implement innovative technologies through the lab&#39;s industry netw
 ork. His primary skillsets include the use of Python for automation of dat
 a processing in lab validation and Microsoft Power BI for dynamic filterin
 g and visualization of data in custom dashboards created for industry part
 ners and MSU athletics. He also manages day-to-day lab project using Agile
  and lean manufacturing best practices.\n\nRoom: 813\, Bldg: ORED\, 301 Re
