Matthew M. Davis

“Matt is highly attuned to the importance of his mentees’ enthusiasm for their projects and ensures that his own interests never steer a project away from those of his mentees. He is incredibly gifted at asking questions which challenge his mentees’ ideas in a way that crystallizes the research question…he is able to see the uncertainty, the self-doubt…Matt seems to have a story of his own struggles to share at every one of those crossroads…[which] made me believe that maybe, just maybe, I can be successful too.”
