Bio:

Matthew received his PhD in Nuclear Engineering from Massachusetts Institute of Technology and hold a MS and BS in Mechanical and Nuclear Engineering from Pennsylvania State University. His research focused on developing and optimizing numerical methods for coupling Monte Carlo codes with finite element applications for multiphysics nuclear reactor simulations. He co-founded Yellowstone Energy in 2016 with Samuel Shaner. Yellowstone Energy focused on the development of a modular, safe, and economic advanced nuclear reactor. After much success, the team ultimately decided to wind-down the company in 2019. Matt is a graduate of the first cohort of Innovation Crossroads at Oak Ridge National Laboratory and currently serves as a Software Engineer at Cray Inc.
