Os Seminários PESC têm como objetivo trazer palestras acessíveis a um público mais amplo, ministradas por pesquisadores e professores mais experientes (tanto do PESC como de instituições externas). Ao longo do ano, teremos temas e focos variados, podendo ser mais específicos ou mais abrangentes.
A apresentação e discussão de ideias novas e antigas de diferentes temas contribui de maneira fundamental para a formação e pesquisa desenvolvida por alunos e professores, sendo muitas vezes de interesse de um público mais amplo.
Os Seminários que são on-line ou híbridos ficam gravados no Canal do PESC no YouTube, que apresenta muitas outras gravações importantes sobre o que acontece no PESC.

Resumo - Slides
This lecture, by Dr Simon Choppin from the Centre for Sports Engineering Research (CSER) at Sheffield Hallam University, looks at the world of Sports Engineering, showing how you can get involved. In addition to exploring several CSER projects, Simon will showcase the Sports Engineering journal, an international conference and opportunities for further study with a Masters degree in Sports Engineering and funded PhD research.
The Sports Engineering community is keen to collaborate with students and research in South America. With the Olympics visiting Rio de Janeiro in two years, this is an ideal opportunity for Sports Engineering to come to Brazil!
Biografia resumida
At Nottingham University he completed a Master degree in Mechanical Engineering with Mathematics before moving to Sheffield to study for a PhD. In his PhD at Sheffield University he worked closely with the International Tennis Federation to develop a novel, 3D method of racket and ball tracking, which was used at a Wimbledon qualifying tournament. His subsequent paper, presented at the Tennis Science and Technology Conference 2007, was awarded the Howard Brody Award for outstanding academic contribution.
Simon is a keen science communicator and has taken part in several high profile events promoting the image of science and technology, he was awarded a British Science Association Media Fellowship in 2009 in which he worked with the Guardian newspaper. In 2011 he was awarded a fellowship with the Software Sustainability Institute. He edits and contributes to the CSER blog, and is an associate editor of the Sports Engineering journal.
