Matt Franchi

I am a third-year Computer Science PhD Candidate at Cornell University. I study at Cornell's New York City campus, Cornell Tech. Before that, I was an undergraduate student at Clemson University, where I completed a Bachelor's Degree in Computer Science (during the pandemic, unfortunately). I am also a research fellow at Hayden AI Technologies. My research is supported by the Cornell Dean's Excellence Fellowship and the Digital Life Initiative Doctoral Fellowship.

My research interests include urban data science; computational social science, particularly in issues pertaining to societal inequality; fashion & design; and computer vision towards urban sensing. My research has been published in the New York Times, The Economist, Gothamist, and other local NYC news outlets.

I play classical and neoclassical piano music, and write my own 'peaceful piano' compositions since 2020.
