If people do not believe that mathematics is simple, it is only because they do not realize how complicated life is.

John von Neumann

God created the natural numbers, the rest is the work of man.

Leopold Kronecker

My name is Matt. I use math to study complex systems, particularly group dynamics.

I earned a Ph.D. in mathematics from Dartmouth College under Feng Fu for my thesis titled, “Evolutionary Dynamics of Collective Action Problems.” From 2022 to 2024, I was a postdoctoral associate at Yale University working with Nicholas Christakis in the Yale Institute for Network Science and the Human Nature Lab. Now, I am a Visiting Assistant Professor at the College of the Holy Cross.
