Prof. Chan will lead an engaging seminar on evaluating how engineering methods can be applied to research in hockey and baseball. In hockey, Chan and his students have developed a player classification system for both NHL and junior hockey players. This system can be used to estimate the contribution of different players to their teams and to predict future performance. In baseball, he and a collaborator have developed a method to quantify the value of flexible players — those who can play multiple positions — that provides insight into which teams are more resilient to injury risk.
