Matthew C. Levy is an American entrepreneur, inventor, and scientist. He was the first American physicist Newton Fellow in the Royal Society of the United Kingdom, the oldest national scientific institution in the world and one of the most prestigious, a post held at Wolfson College at the University of Oxford.
He has held academic affiliations with UCLA, Rice University, Oxford University and Stanford University and won numerous awards including the Lawrence Scholarship at Lawrence Livermore National Laboratory and the William F. Marlar award for best PhD dissertation in space science at Rice University.. Since 2017 he is a member of the Global Young Academy, an organization aiming to be the voice of young scientists world-wide.
Levy's published research has been cited more than 500 times and he has made contributions to fields including fusion physics, plasma physics, machine learning, and astrophysics. He was the first to discover fundamental limits of the absorption of high-power laser light, an open problem in the field since its inception more than 20 years ago. He holds two patents-pending on merging artificial intelligence with physics principles.
As of 2019, Levy leads a venture-funded initiative based in San Francisco, California which raised $8.6 Million USD. Their stated objective is to apply artificial intelligence to accelerate scientific progress by increasing the efficiency of research and development at enterprise scale.
