Matt came to the Gibbs lab in Spring 2013 with a BS in Mathematics, Linguistics and a certificate in Computer Science from UW-Madison. Since then, he has been eager to apply his skills to collaboratively drive forward quantitative analysis on projects within GLUE. Matt currently uses his programming abilities to assess trends in cattle activity from the Brazilian Amazon with a focus on industry-wide reaction to zero-deforestation agreements. Outside of work, Matt is an avid fan of music and enjoys expanding his programming knowledge for personal interest.
