  Research Assistant

  As a Research Assistant for the SAMPA project, I analyzed multivariate time-series data to explore synchronization in music ensembles and athletic performances. My responsibilities included developing predictive algorithms and pattern discovery models, leveraging tools like YOLOv8 and Roboflow for bird’s-eye-view interpretations of soccer matches.
