Bio:
Matthew Clark (B.S. CmpE 95, M.S.E.E. 97, Ph.D. ECE 07) started life as a software engineer while he was co-oping for TRW in Warner Robins, Ga., where he decided that what he really wanted to do with his life was to make hardware. He promptly returned to Georgia Tech to study Analog Systems. After earning his M.S.E.E. in DSP, he started at Hughes Missile Systems, where he worked on a signal processing applications for six weeks. Upon completing three years of FPGA and ASIC design, he accepted a position with Nortel Network in Raleigh, NC, where his entire group was quickly thereafter “redeployed." Matthew worked for Intel for six years designing WAN/MAN/Core Ethernet routing chips. In his spare time, he returned to his studies at Georgia Tech, timing his graduation to coincide with the next round of lay-offs. Matthew is currently employed as a signal and image processing engineer for Northrop Grumman, developing ways of moving computationally intensive signal processing algorithms into embedded hardware solutions.
Matthew is the alumni recruiter for Northrop Grumman’s Future Technology Leadership Program, as well as part of the college recruiting team, and has promised his boss that he will return from Georgia Tech with high quality resumes from the CSIP department.
