Expertise

• Theoretical condensed matter & spectroscopy
• Machine learning & data analysis
• High-performance computing
• Software development (primarily Python & C++)

Research Activities

Matt has a diversity of research interests spanning condensed matter, spectroscopy, machine learning and many topics in between. In no particular order:

• Development of machine learning models for predicting chemical environment information from spectroscopy, and vice versa
• Development of molecule and materials discovery pipelines, integrated with multi-modal targeting
• Collaboration with beamline experimentalists to develop new AI-driven tools for analyzing observable data
• Developing a better understanding of how AI tools can better assist us in understanding complicated physics
• Development of a methodologically unconstrained electron-phonon solver, called the Generalized Green's function Cluster Expansion
• Developing a better understanding of high-dimensional systems (funnel and random energy models) in the context of both activated dynamics and landscape exploration

You can also find me on Google Scholar or my personal website (currently a work in progress!).
