Hello! My name is Lou, and I am a Junior at Rice University, studying Statistics and Sport Analytics. I’m originally from Memphis, TN, where I graduated from Memphis University School in 2023. I currently work as a research assistant in Professor Scott Powers’ Lab at Rice University where I focus on projects in sport analytics. Additionally, I co-lead a 14-person engineering team which builds internal analytics tools for Rice Athletics.
In addition to traditional sports, I also am interested in applcations of data science to esports, where I am currently building gg-pyparser, a Python package which parsers Liquipedia esports data for easy use.
Outside of data science, I enjoy gardening, playing soccer, and technical theater.
I am currently seeking internship opportunities in both research and industry for Summer 2026, so if you think that I am good fit, please feel free to reach out!
