Research Interests
My research interest is the development and application of statistical methods and tools in sport. This research has: examined the home advantage; investigated factors determining attendance at sporting events and developed methods for analysing career trajectories of professional athletes. I am currently working with a number of professional sports organisations with the goal of making quantitative analysis more accessible.
