Dr. Matthew Graham, Research Professor of Astronomy at the California Institute of Technology received his MA in Physics from the University of Oxford and his PhD in Astronomy from the University of Central Lancashire in the UK. After a postdoc at Imperial College London, he came to Caltech in 2003, initially as a Senior Postdoctoral Scholar and then transitioning to a Computational Scientist within the Center for Advanced Computing Research. He has been a Member of the Professional Staff at Caltech and in 2017, he became research faculty in astronomy. Matthew has extensive experience in large sky surveys and their computational challenges, particularly the application of machine learning and advanced statistical methodologies to astrophysical problems. Matthew is currently the co-PI and Project Scientist for the Zwicky Transient Facility (ZTF), the first of a next generation of time-domain sky surveys producing hundreds of thousands of public transient alerts per night. He also has ongoing research projects on real-time low latency inferencing— real-time AI at scale —the application of reinforcement learning to optimize follow-up observations of short lived phenomena, the development of neural differential models for modeling black holes, and the functional analysis modeling of multivariate time series. ♦
