Matthew uses his previous experience as a scientific application developer and systems engineer to assist Northwestern researchers with their computational needs. He has extensive experience analyzing performance bottlenecks and porting code to run efficiently on accelerators and at scale. His previous employment focused on space science research and supercomputing.
While at the University of New Hampshire he worked on a simulation that predicts how particles are energized around our sun, greatly improving its accuracy and performance. He architected a new data analysis and visualization pipeline to compare satellite observations with simulation results. Matthew was also a mentor, advising undergraduate computer science students on their senior projects and assisting his research group’s graduate students with their computational work.
At Hewlett Packard Enterprise (HPE) he managed a team of compiler and performance tools developers in enhancing parallelization schemes and accelerating applications in high performance computing systems. He recorded tutorials on application profiling and performance tuning, wrote documentation, and assisted code teams at national laboratories. He also volunteered with HPE CodeWars, a programming competition for grades eight through twelve students.
Matthew has a M.S. in physics from the University of New Hampshire. He’s also been brewing and baking for more than ten years and will happily ferment anything he can get his hands on.
