Matt L. Sampson

Hey, I’m Matt, a PhD researcher at Princeton University working with Prof. Peter Melchior. I am studying ways to advance science and machine learning with a particular focus on neural dynamics in deep learning, representation learning, optimization, and world models. Previously I was at the Australian National University where I performed numerical experiments and helped develop a code to simulate cosmic ray propagation through a dynamically evolving turbulent plasma.

Long-term vision: To create models that deeply understand complex dynamical systems— enabling new discoveries and forming the foundations for increasingly general, physics-inspired intelligence.
