Hi! :)

My name is Matheus Farias, I'm from Recife (Brazil), and I'm a 27-year-old Electrical Engineering Ph.D student at Harvard University advised by Prof. H. T. Kung. I'm especially interested in developing novel solutions for real-life problems using interdisciplinary engineering approaches. Mainly combining machine learning, internet of things and hardware design.

I'm graduated with a valedictorian BSc. degree on Electronics Engineering from Federal University of Pernambuco (UFPE). During my time at UFPE, I have worked at four different labs under five distinct faculty. This diverse experience gave me a unique perspective of multidisciplinary research and collaborative efforts as I tuned myself to work effectively on different research lines and environments. I'm fortunate to have received 5 international and some other national awards for my past works, including the title MIT Innovator Under 35 (for outstanding science and technology innovators under the age of 35).

I have a rock band called Matucana where I played the keyboards — our first album was released in 2023, check it out! I was almost a professional badminton player, collecting more than 10 medals, from state tournaments to University Games.

Here is my CV (you can also find a short version here)
