Roman Matvienko
I am a PhD student in Sociology at the Chinese University of
Hong Kong.
I do a video-based ethnomethodological study of embodied interaction in team sports. My current research focuses on action projection in antagonistic encounters, action coordination in multi-party interaction, and the temporal alignment of multiple action trajectories.
I played amateur football and rugby union but have now retired to leisurely walking and non-competitive cycling. Outside of sport, my interests include science and crime fiction, free verse, and tactical video games.
