Matt Piekenbrock
I’m a computer scientist with research interests in geometric and topological data analysis, unsupervised learning, algorithm design, and scientific computing. My background experience and projects can be found on my CV and Github profile.
I’m currently a PhD [transfer] student at Khoury College of Computer Sciences, Northeastern University; prior to transferring, I completed 2 years of graduate coursework from the Computational Mathematics, Science, and Engineering Department at Michigan State University. I hold both B.S. and M.S. degrees in C.S. from Wright State University.
My research has been supported by various sources, including the NSF, NASA, DARPA, the Center for Survelliance Research, and a Ginther Fellowship, among others.
