Hello! My name is Lou, and I am a senior at Rice University, majoring in Statistics and Sport Analytics, with a minor in Math. At Rice, I’ve been lucky enough to work as a research assistant at Professor Scott Powers’ Lab at Rice University, which focuses on projects in sport analytics. Outside of the classroom, I’ve been fortunate enough have worked for the Cincinnati Reds as a baseball analytics trainee and will be joining the Oklahoma City Thunder in the fall as a basketball analyst intern.
Outside of traditional sports, I also am interested in applications of data science to esports, where I have built gg-pyparser, a Python package which parses Liquipedia esports data for easy use.
Outside of the computer screen, I enjoy gardening, playing soccer, and technical theater.
