Matt Brake joined Rice University in 2016 after working at Sandia National Laboratories for nine years. Before Sandia, he received his Ph.D. from Carnegie Mellon University in 2007. Matt has been elected to several leadership positions, including as the chair of the ASME Research Committee on the Mechanics of Jointed Structures, the vice-chair of the Nonlinear Dynamics Technical Division of SEM, and as the vice-chair of the ASME Technical Committee on Vibration and Sound. He is a recipient of the 2012 Presidential Early Career Award for Scientists and Engineers, the NSF CAREER Award, the 2018 C.D. Mote Jr Early Career Award. He is a Fellow of the American Society of Mechanical Engineers. Much of Matt’s career has focused on developing large-scale collaborations and supporting graduate student education. He founded and directed both the Tribomechadynamics Research Camp at Rice University and the Nonlinear Mechanics and Dynamics (NOMAD) Institute at Sandia National Laboratories. In 2019, he co-founded the Additive Manufacturing, Performance, and Tribology (AMPT) Center at Rice University, which is focused on large-scale industrial-academic collaborations.
