Summary
Matt Malej is a research mathematician with 14 years of experience applying advanced numerical methods and high-performance computing (Python, C/C++, Fortran) to government R&D problems, currently based in Hanover, NH. He leads and shapes Cold Regions and infrastructure-focused research at the U.S. Army ERDC, translating basic applied-math research into actionable programs and policy guidance for senior Army stakeholders. His background includes international and naval lab research stints and a PhD in Applied Mathematics from NJIT, giving him deep expertise in scientific computing and modeling under extreme environmental conditions. Beyond research, he coaches and develops soccer curricula at state and national levels, blending pedagogy and team leadership into his technical mentorship. He’s comfortable briefing directors and congressional-facing audiences and has acted as a liaison embedding technical priorities into installation, energy, and environmental policy. Notably, he pairs hands-on HPC development with organizational program-building—bridging code, proposals, and strategic research planning.
