Matthew is a Ph.D. candidate in physics at Southern Methodist University with research expertise in experimental high energy physics. He works as a member of the ATLAS collaboration as part of the effort to use the Higgs boson as a tool to discover physics beyond the standard model with experiments preformed at CERN's Large Hadron Collider (LHC) in Geneva, Switzerland. He is also one of the core developers of the statistical fitting library pyhf and a researcher with the Institute for Research and Innovation in Software for High Energy Physics (IRIS-HEP).
