The University of Alabama is launching a new interdisciplinary center focusing on technology and athletics with the aim of improving training and performance.

“First and foremost, it will be looking at the athletic arena, but it is clear to us what is going to happen is it will have broad impacts and technology will trickle down,” said Tim Haskew, the new center’s director and UA’s electrical and computer engineering department head.
