Dr. Thomas Matarazzo, Ph.D. Assistant Professor Associate Director of High-Performance Computing - Center for Applied Engineering Civil and Mechanical Engineering Center for Applied Engineering thomas.matarazzo [at] westpoint.edu About Education Research & Publications Dr. Thomas Matarazzo received a B.S. degree (summa cum laude) in civil engineering from Manhattan College and M.S. and Ph.D. degrees in structural engineering from Lehigh University. His research specializes in monitoring and intelligence systems for civil and urban infrastructure, mobile sensor networks, autonomous sensing platforms, and multipurpose sensor data and urban services. In 2015 and 2016 he was an NSF East Asia and Pacific Summer Institutes research fellow, then postdoc at the Nakashima-Kurata Laboratory in the Disaster Prevention Research Institute at Kyoto University, Japan. He joined the MIT Senseable City Lab as a postdoctoral researcher in 2016 where he led a multidisciplinary research team, in collaboration with industry and several government entities, to better understand how crowdsourced smartphone data from vehicle trips can support bridge maintenance. He also has postdoctoral research experience with the Department of Information Science at Cornell Tech. In Spring 2020, he was an Adjunct Assistant Professor at Columbia University, where he taught a new course “Data Science Methods for Urban Systems” in the Graduate School of Architecture, Planning and Preservation. He is a recipient of several awards, such as the Microsoft AI for Earth Award (2018).
