BIO: Professor Matthew Szydagis received his B.A., M.S., and Ph.D.
degrees from the University of Chicago in 2005, 2006, and 2011,
respectively, then continued his work in physics as a postdoctoral
scholar at the University of California Davis (2010-2014). Since 2014,
he has been a professor at the University at Albany (UAlbany)
Department of Physics, pursuing experimental particle astrophysics, in
particular the direct laboratory detection of dark matter WIMPs
(Weakly Interacting Massive Particles) underground, and general
detector development for “rare event” searches. He works on the LZ
liquid-Xenon based experiment and is the developer of the NEST (Noble
Element Simulation Technique) software, and co-developer of the
“snowball chamber” supercooled water technology with his colleague
Prof. Cecilia Levy, as well as the AngelCore reactor technology. After
a recent donation from Mr. Tony Gorman to UAlbany he is also pursuing
UAP research with his colleagues Prof. Levy and Prof. Kevin Knuth as a
more serious effort.
