My current research interests include scalable algorithms and architectures for computational processes around tensor-based applications, benchmarking, workload classification, and data synthesis. I am currently a member of the Tensor500 research group developing benchmarks around tensor-based operations. The group is funded by the NSF. My undergraduate studies were in Physics and Mathematics and included research in nanotechnology and non-linear optics.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"height:23px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\" style=\"font-size:23px\"><a class=\"\" href=\"mailto:MatthewMerris@u.boisestate.edu\">MatthewMerris@u.boisestate.edu<\/a> <br><a href=\"https:\/\/www.boisestate.edu\/coen-cs\/people\/faculty\/tim-anderson\/https:\/\/www.boisestate.edu\/coen-cs\/people\/faculty\/tim-andersen\/\">Advisor: Dr. Tim Anderson<\/a><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Education Emphasis in Computer ScienceB.S. in Physics, Minor in Mathematics Biography I am driven by&#8230;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":3544,"featured_media":0,"parent":12366,"menu_order":0,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","template":"","meta":{"_acf_changed":false,"footnotes":""},"class_list":["post-12048","page","type-page","status-publish","hentry"],"acf":[],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.boisestate.edu\/computing\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/pages\/12048","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.boisestate.edu\/computing\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/pages"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.boisestate.edu\/computing\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/page"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.boisestate.edu\/computing\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/3544"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.boisestate.edu\/computing\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=12048"}],"version-history":[{"count":4,"href":"https:\/\/www.boisestate.edu\/computing\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/pages\/12048\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":12471,"href":"https:\/\/www.boisestate.edu\/computing\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/pages\/12048\/revisions\/12471"}],"up":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.boisestate.edu\/computing\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/pages\/12366"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.boisestate.edu\/computing\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=12048"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
