Editorial board is proud to announce Martin Lames as a distinguished invited lecturer for the section on Research Methodologies, Data Science and Emerging Research Methods.

Martin Lames is full professor for Performance Analysis and Sport Informatics at the School of Medicine and Health, Technical University of Munich, Germany. He received his PhD (Dr. Sportwiss.) at the Johannes Gutenberg University Mainz and his habilitation (post-doctoral thesis) at the Christian-Albrechts-University Kiel, Germany. He started his position at TUM in 2009 after professorships in Rostock and Augsburg. The most important areas of his research are talent promotion, game sports research and supporting top-level sports using information technology. Recently, a textbook “Performance analysis in game sports – Concepts and Methods” has appeared containing chapters on observational systems, position tracking in sports, theoretical modeling and practical performance analysis in game sports. One current research interest lies in establishing empirical evidence for the notion of game sports as dynamic interaction processes with emergent behavior.
