In my current role as postdoctoral researcher at LIACS, I focus on applied data science research in the domain of sports.
In my current role as postdoctoral researcher at LIACS, I focus on applied data science research in the domain of sports. My formal training as a Human Movement Scientist allows me to bring two worlds (Sports Science and Computer Science) together. I am mainly focusing explorative data mining techniques (such as subgroup discovery), which I have for example used to analyze tactical behavior in football (soccer). For the analysis of tactical behavior I am working on a Python package that contains a range modules useful for analyzing tracking data in interactive team sports. The modules are designed for football, but may easily translate to other sports such as (field) hockey, basketball or rugby.
