Research Topic: Astrophysics meets Sports Science: Predictive real-time modelling using STATSports sensors

This research is an industry collaboration with Newry based firm STATSports which is a world-leading provider of GPS player tracking and analysis equipment. Applying the data processing and manipulation techniques from Astrophysics to the data sets generated by STATSports trackers during competitive field sport games (100 data points per second!) will give new insights into player and team performance, both in real time and post-game. 

Biography:

I completed an MSci in Physics With Medical Applications in Queens in 2023 and my current PhD project is a continuation of my masters thesis, with help from my supervisors Dave and Sam. This research has combined the skills developed through physics in my time at Queens with my love of sport.
