Dissertation:

Artificial Intelligence (AI): My PhD research studyied how teams impact the behavior that AI agents learn. This includes studying group dynamics, emergent behavior, and game theoretical incentives in challenging environments.

Hockey Analytics: During graduate school, I used tracking data from the National Hockey League (NHL) to develop analytics for AI systems with the goal to quantify performance in new ways, such as passing performance and player positioning.
