Matthew J. Vowels

I'm a PhD candidate in Computer Vision and Machine Learning, and am supervised by Prof. Richard Bowden (University of Surrey) as well as Prof. Peter Hilpert (University of Lausanne). I am also a consultant in audio systems and electroacoustic transducer design.

I am deeply interested in the integration of causal inference into machine learning methods, as well interdisciplinary applications of state-of-the-art statistical and data analytic methodologies in applied/empiricial contexts like finance, econometrics, psychology, and social science.

I have an MSc in computer vision, robotics, and machine learning, an M.S. in Family Sciences, and a BMus (Hons) in Tonmeister audio engineering.

I enjoy playing and recording music. Please visit my youtube channels https://youtu.be/TkcmrEtND1A [ for music content ] and https://youtu.be/WcUeKIh6gVw [ for machine learning content ].
