Matt White is the CEO of Berkeley Synthetic, a research group focused on applications of AI in physics, natural phenomena, generative deep learning, autonomous agents and simulations. He is a member of the teaching faculty at UC Berkeley where he teaches graduate students computer vision, deep learning and data visualization at the School of Information. Matt is the Chair of the Technical Advisory Committee at the Open Metaverse Foundation which was founded in 2006 to create community around open source software development and open standards to build the Open Metaverse and now a part of the Linux Foundation. He is also a Chair at the Metaverse Standards Forum where he leads the Digital Asset Management working group focused on interoperability, portability, security and ownership of 3D digital assets in the Metaverse. Matt is passionate about architecting an Open Metaverse that is photorealistic, physically accurate and realizes natural phenomena. He strives to build an open standard framework that leverages high performance computing, applications of AI and decentralized asset management in massive online multi-user simulated environments and exploiting the power of neural methods to help build and operate the Metaverse.
