(Photo by Dave Schlenker)<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n\n\n<p>Brewer\u2019s cycling career started at age 15 in North Carolina with a triathlon \u2013 or rather, holding water for triathletes when her soccer team volunteered at a water station. So inspired, she started training for triathlons but quickly learned cycling was her favorite.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>She raced at the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill, then headed to the University of Colorado Boulder on a cycling scholarship to obtain her master\u2019s degree until the pandemic stopped her momentum. In Boulder, she worked with professional cyclists, including I\u00f1igo San Mill\u00e1n, former coach of two-time Tour de France winner Tadej Poga\u010dar.&nbsp;&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cIt\u2019s a very fast-paced environment, and I thrived there,\u201d Brewer said of Boulder. \u201cEverybody is unapologetic about their pursuit to win. And that\u2019s what I\u2019ve seen at UF, too. When we talk to coaches, they want to win championships. That\u2019s the goal.\u201d&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Brewer transferred to UF, where she finished her master\u2019s degree in applied physiology and\u202fkinesiology. Her Ph.D. will be in human-centered computing led by Kristy Boyer, Ph.D. &nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cWe have to remember the human part of human performance,\u201d Brewer said. \u201cIt\u2019s about giving good experiences to high-level cyclists or student-athletes because we have a responsibility with staff to help them reach the highest level of their sport and their goals \u2013 but do it in that holistic, long-term way that always keeps the athlete in mind. When the athlete is happy and healthy, that\u2019s when they succeed.\u201d&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Brewer recently returned from the Netherlands, where she was working as a staff assistant with the Silicon Valley Cycling Foundation\u2019s European Cycling Academy, which brings North American female cyclists to the Netherlands to race and improve their skills. Brewer does not compete in races much these days, but she stays immersed in cycling by helping other racers.&nbsp;&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cComing to Florida, the trails have been calling my name,\u201d Brewer said, noting that her favorite bike trail is in Santos, just south of Ocala.&nbsp;&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cIn my own experience,\u201d she said of her research with the AI-Powered Athletics, \u201cthere is a plethora of data and performance metrics in wearable technologies, and in all the bike sensors \u2013 even in all the collegiate sports \u2013 we now have wearable technology. Everybody\u2019s getting it on their watches, but there\u2019s a lack of integration and understanding and misinterpretation.\u201d&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-pullquote has-medium-font-size\"><blockquote><p>&#8220;We have to remember the human part of human performance.&#8221;<\/p><cite>Mollie Brewer, UF Ph.D. Student in human-centered computing<\/cite><\/blockquote><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>Elite athletes have experts to help them use this technology correctly, Brewer said, while there is not much guidance for advanced amateurs.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>&nbsp;\u201cOne of the biggest obstacles we face with athletes is compliance \u2013 wearing it correctly, wearing it continuously,\u201d Brewer said. \u201cCan I help in those areas? Can I make data collection easier? Can I make analysis easier for coaches and athletes? Can I make data understanding better? The last one, which I think is most important, is can I make sure the human element is never forgotten?\u201d&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Brewer feels the greatest innovations happen when \u201cminds from different domains\u201d come together. She praised the UF &amp; Sport Collaborative\u2019s team, particularly Nichols (biomedical); Kevin Butler, Ph.D. (cybersecurity); Boyer, (human-centered computing); Spencer (performance testing and analytics); Garrett Beatty, Ph.D. (applied physiology and kinesiology); and Daniel Ferris, Ph.D. (biomechanics).&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\">\n<figure class=\"aligncenter size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"667\" src=\"https:\/\/www.eng.ufl.edu\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/249\/2024\/07\/mollie3-1024x667.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-35151\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.eng.ufl.edu\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/249\/2024\/07\/mollie3-1024x667.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/www.eng.ufl.edu\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/249\/2024\/07\/mollie3-500x326.jpg 500w, https:\/\/www.eng.ufl.edu\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/249\/2024\/07\/mollie3-768x500.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.eng.ufl.edu\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/249\/2024\/07\/mollie3-1536x1001.jpg 1536w, https:\/\/www.eng.ufl.edu\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/249\/2024\/07\/mollie3.jpg 2000w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\">Mollie Brewer, then 3, gets an early taste of cycling with her mother, Mary. (Photo courtesy of Mollie Brewer)<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n\n\n<p>When Brewer is not conducting research and working with this team, and when she is not in a lab or on a trail, she loves to bake sourdough bread, read research papers, travel, and revel in new cultural trappings. For example, she now puts sprinkles on her bread every morning thanks to eating Dutch \u201cfairy bread.\u201d&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Also of note: She never planned to obtain her Ph.D. \u201cIf you had told me a year ago that I was going to be getting my Ph.D. in Florida, I would have told you, \u2018Absolutely not. You\u2019re crazy,\u2019\u201d she said. \u201cAnd here I am, and it is nice that I get paid to read research papers.\u201d&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Now she is in the throes of one of UF\u2019s most visible research initiatives and considering the wide-open possibilities of AI and athletics.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>&nbsp;\u201cI think it can uncover patterns and possibilities that maybe you and I couldn\u2019t quite detect on our own,\u201d she said. \u201cYou still need the human element to decide whether it is worth implementing or not. It can provide an additional avenue of understanding for complex situations and patterns that just may not be as evident to the human eye. It may also reduce redundancies or speed up analytic time. In a professional, high-paying sport, being able to do things faster is always better.\u201d&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><a href=\"https:\/\/news.ufl.edu\/2024\/07\/olympics-strategic-sport-initiative\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Read more about UF&#8217;s work in AI and athletics<\/a><\/h3>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Brewer\u2019s cycling career started at age 15 in North Carolina with a triathlon \u2013 or rather, holding water for triathletes when her soccer team volunteered at a water station.
