Description: Personal website of Matthew Piekenbrock - includes research, background, resume/CV, and work experience.
I'm currently a research associate with a M.S. in Computer Science, with a focus (and minor) in Statistics and Statistical Modeling. My graduate research focused on Machine Learning (ML) and Artificial Intelligence (AI); my interests are in exploring the intersections between unsupervised learning, statistical learning theory, and empirical analysis. I also enjoy building and contributing software in the realm of scientific computing, and for reproducible research purposes. Topic areas that interest me incl
I first started doing research part time at the Air Force Institute of Technology with a heavily multidisciplinary team called the Low Orbitals Radar and Electromagnetism (LORE) group in 2013 doing either 1) research for an independent project under supervision of Dr. Andrew Terzuoli or 2) supporting graduate students' research efforts in the group. I worked actively with the group until 2016, after which I maintained an advisory-role until early 2017.
In 2015, I started working for the Machine Learning and Complex Systems Lab as part of a research-based independent study shortly after taking an introductory ML/data analysis course taught by Derek Doran . I received a graduate research assistant position in the same lab shortly after, working towards an M.S. in Computer Science.
