Practical Research Experience Program (TUM PREP)

Over the course of the summer, the Chair of Human Movement Science welcomed the computer and data scientist Brandon Tang from the University of Toronto as a PREP student.

The PREP program allows students from North American universities and the Imperial College London to spend an 8-week research stay at the TUM.


Brandon, a track and field athlete himself, worked with Dr. Philipp Gulde on a markerless motion tracking project on sprinting. The created prototype allows to automatically conduct kinematic analyses of sprint video footage – from the own training or the Olympic games in Paris.
