Matthew Lam

I'm a second-year Engineering Science student at the University of Toronto.

I'm interested in hardware/software co-design for computer vision, imaging and communication systems.

I'm equally interested in electrochemistry for clean energy.

I'm also part of the RF Communications subteam at the University of Toronto Aerospace Team - Space Systems.

Projects

Convolutional Neural Network for Fashion-MNIST Classification
Personal project
Jun. 2025
GitHub

This is was my first computer vision project as well as my first ML project. It consists of a convolutional neural network that classifies images of clothing items. It is trained on the Fashion-MNIST dataset.

Matboard Beam Bridge Design Project
Team project with Jeffrey Zhu and Riley Ellison / CIV102 Course Project
Nov. 2025
Project overview / GitHub

Matboard beam bridge spanning 1200 mm and withstanding a 580 N load from a rolling toy train. We wrote a Python script to calculate factors of safety of our design, and predict how well our bridge would perform during testing.

Effect of Increasing Ionic Concentration on the Rate of Water Electrolysis
Personal project / International Baccalaureate (IB) Chemistry Exploration
Nov. 2024 - Feb. 2025
Full project report

I designed and ran a water electrolysis experiment to determine the effect of varying NaOH concentration on electric current & rate of H2 production.

Comparison of Interpolation Methods for Image Resizing
Personal project / International Baccalaureate (IB) Mathematics Exploration
Sep. 2024 - Jan. 2025
Full project report

Comparison of nearest-neighbor, bilinear, bicubic and bicubic spline interpolation methods for image resizing. I applied these interpolation methods to an image in MATLAB, then compared results visually & with mean squared error. Note: this report was originally written in French, then translated to English.

Modeling Sensory Dissonance of Musical Intervals
Personal project / International Baccalaureate (IB) Extened Essay
Feb. 2024 - Sep. 2024
Detailed project overview

Exploration of models of musical consonance based on frequency ratio, beating & roughness, including William Sethares’s model from Tuning, Timbre, Spectrum, Scale (1999). Illustration of a model using FFT in MATLAB to compute frequency spectra of my own recording. This project was adapted from my International Baacalaureate (IB) Extended Essay.
