Matt Rosen is a photographer, inventor, and engineer based in Cambridge, Massachusetts.

He received an M.S. in Mechanical Engineering from MIT, an M.S. in Integrated Design & Management from the MIT Sloan School of Management, and a B.S. in Mechanical Engineering from Tufts University. Previously, he worked at Global Good/Intellectual Ventures Laboratory, near Seattle, where teams worked closely with Bill Gates on challenging technological issues in Global Health and Global Development. He has consulted for Global Health Labs/Gates Ventures, and is currently the founder and CEO of Haystack Ag, where he is working on significantly lowering the cost of accurately measuring soil carbon sequestration.
