Data Scientist at Zoox working on Perception Verification and Validation.
Previously, I was an AI Verification Engineer at Zoox and before that, I earned my PhD in Physics at McGill University. My academic focus was using Bayesian inference and statistical learning to quantify the properties of the Quark-Gluon Plasma. Since then, I’ve been focused on using statistical approaches to make expensive analysis more computationally efficient.

Hi, I’m Matt.
I’m a Data Scientist and Physicist writing about projects, tools, professional development, industry practices, and the industry at large.
What to expect
I’m a Data Scientist who occasionally dabbles in some light software engineering. I started off as a physicist working with computational/statistical tools for nuclear physics and have been working in tech for a few years now. What that means is that I’ve made that academia-to-industry transition and learned many lessons along the way. Some of this writing will be what my past self wished I knew.
