Overall Research Project Description This research project focuses on modeling the gameplay of soccer using agent-based models. In soccer, player interactions and characteristics, ball movement, decision-making, and team formation rules the game statistics and outcomes. In this project, we will employ agent-based modeling techniques, using relevant softwares and packages, to simulate the interaction between players and explore their influence on team strategies, ball possession, goal-scoring probabilities, etc.
Research Tasks Literature review of relevant research studies, Mathematical modeling, Analysis and visualization of the simulations
Skills that research assistant(s) may need: Calculus, Some experience in coding, Passion for modeling sports, Basic knowledge of soccer rules
Mentoring Philosophy I strongly believe a true mentorship is a two-way relationship between the mentor and the mentee. I work closely with the mentees to help them find their strength and recognize how to improve their research skills.
