Matthew (b. 1991) is a data scientist, designer, electrical engineer, photographer, and musician who is interested in building communities that are more inclusive, circular, just, and resilient.
He makes abstract, beat-driven electronic music as part of the audio-visual duo Dayspired and is a current partner at Rhythm Section International (London, UK), where he is being mentored by record label founder Bradley Zero (DJ at BBC Radio 1, NTS Radio, Boiler Room).
Most recently, Matthew has pursued his MFA in Graphic Design at Rhode Island School of Design (RISD) after receiving his MS in Data Science from Brown University. He is a graduate researcher at Brown’s Human-Computer Interaction Lab, and the head teaching assistant for the class “Machine Learning and Design.” He is currently looking for engaging and rigorous full time data science, design, and systems engineering work (either remote or in-person) dealing with high-impact social or environmental problems.

SPEAKER DESIGN AND VISUALIZATION
I designed a speaker from scratch and then created an experiment to test it and visualize the acoustic data. The images shown here depict my full process, including research, circuit design, modeling, fabrication, testing, and visualization.
Directivity is the measure of how directional a source is — in other words, how good the loudspeaker is of transmitting sound at a specific direction. The final performance results indicate, as expected, that the speaker is more directional at higher frequencies. Sounds were produced using a frequency tone generator source at constant amplitude and recorded at five angles using a Zoom H2N microphone.
