Matthew Eicholtz

Biography

Matthew Eicholtz received his B.S. and M.S. in Mechanical Engineering from the Georgia Institute of Technology in 2009 and 2010, respectively, and completed his Ph.D. in Mechanical Engineering at Carnegie Mellon University in 2015. During his graduate studies, Matthew became interested in artificial intelligence and machine learning, or the ability of computers to accomplish impressive computational feats without being explicitly programmed to do so, and so his focus began to shift toward projects at the intersection of computer science and engineering. Matthew is a strong advocate for the interdisciplinary role computer science must play in solving the technological challenges of the 21st century.

From 2015 to 2018, Matthew was a postdoctoral research associate at Oak Ridge National Laboratory in the Imaging, Signals, and Machine Learning group. Now a faculty member at Florida Southern College, his teaching and research interests include introductory programming (especially for non-majors), deep learning, computer vision, and genetic algorithms for image-based applications in education, robotics, neurobiology, biometrics, and engineering.

In his free time, Matthew enjoys playing board games, watching sports, running, and eating at Chick-fil-A.
