Matthias Fey is a software engineer and creator of PyG (PyTorch Geometric) with a PhD in computer science from TU Dortmund and ten years of experience in graph representation learning. As a founding engineer at Kumo.AI he bridges research and production, contributing both high-level GNN architectures and low-level C++/CUDA PyTorch extensions (pytorch_cluster, pytorch_scatter, pytorch_sparse) that enable large-scale graph workloads. His open-source work includes key integrations with OGB and ongoing stewardship of PyTorch Geometric, making complex graph ML accessible and performant. Based in Dortmund, he pairs rigorous academic training with practical optimization skills to deliver scalable, community-adopted graph ML tools.
Contributions:43 releases, 2086 reviews, 4945 commits in 5 years 4 months
Contributions summary:Matthias contributed to the PyTorch Geometric library, focusing on improvements and feature additions in graph neural network implementations. They fixed compatibility issues in the Planetoid datasets related to NumPy, added helper functions for module equivalence and invariance testing, and implemented edge weight support to the LightGCN model. Further contributions include updates to the batching tutorial with cleaner code and the addition of a test to verify the correctness of the ClusterLoader.
