He/him
Matthew S. Goodwin is a professor in the Khoury College of Computer Sciences at Northeastern University, based in Boston. He is jointly appointed with the Bouvé College of Health Sciences.
For more than 25 years, Goodwin has worked with children and adults on the autism spectrum to innovate, develop, and evaluate behavioral assessment and intervention technologies, including video and audio capture, telemetric physiological monitors, accelerometry sensors, and digital video/facial recognition systems. In doing so, he aims to enable the caregivers of people with autism to more capably and compassionately assist their loved ones, including by detecting signs of aggression before meltdowns occur.
The prolific and interdisciplinary nature of Goodwin’s research has made him a fixture of several Northeastern research circles. He co-founded a doctoral program in personal health informatics, directs the Computational Behavioral Science Lab, chairs the Bouvé Research Committee, and is a core faculty member of both the Institute for Experiential AI and the Institute for Experiential Robotics.
Outside of Northeastern, Goodwin previously held research or teaching roles at Harvard Medical School, Brown University, and the MIT Media Lab. He has served as a board member for Autism Speaks and the International Society for Autism Research, and as a faculty member of the Office of Behavioral and Social Science Research within the National Institutes of Health (NIH). Goodwin’s honors include the Matilda White Riley Early-Stage Investigator award from the NIH, the Simons Investigator honor from the Simons Foundation for Autism Initiative, and the Hariri Award for Transformative Computational Science.
