Colleagues describe him as "Incredibly fast learner, naturally strong leader, and well-rounded are the words that come to mind when I think about Matt Black. I had the pleasure of working closely with Matt for 4 years first as a peer in the same group and later under his leadership of our assay development team. Matt demonstrated his skills as a fast learner when he taught himself how to write R scripts for handling large data sets. When our team started generating copious data for a big project, Matt built a set of R scripts that the entire team could use so the data analysis was fast and uniform and thus more longitudinal and powerful. His foresight and effort led to the entire team’s success in generating key results for the company. As a manager, Matt was affable and kept the team motivated and engaged. I am confident that Matt will continue to make meaningful contributions at any company that is lucky enough to employ him.", "I worked with Matt closely for for over 3 years at UCSB. Matt's passion for research and upbeat attitude make him an excellent coworker. He is an excellent team player and it was a pleasure to work with him on research projects, presentations, and papers.", and "Matt and I worked together for five years during graduate school. He exhibited very strong leadership qualities, which were highlighted when he brought the group together during our lab move from UCSB to Berkeley. Matt is also exceptional at solving problems; whether the issue is tackling a completely new research challenge or figuring out how to stop a solvent leak in an old instrument, you can count on him to develop and execute a solution."
