Hello! My name is Lou, and I am a Junior at Rice University, majoring in Statistics and Sport Analytics,with a minor in Math. At Rice, I’m lucky enough to work as a research assistant at Professor Scott Powers’ Lab at Rice University, which focuses on projects in sport analytics. I’m fortunate enough to be joining the Cincinnati Reds in the summer as a baseball analytics trainee and 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.
