Australia fell in love with Dr Matt in 2019 when he debuted as the lovely bubbly, engaging, and unapologetically nerdy Bachelor. With a PhD in Astrophysics, Masters Degree in Artificial Intelligence, a Bachelors Degree in Engineering, and a vast knowledge of our solar system and the galaxies beyond, Dr Matt uses his debut book Dr Matt’s Guide to Life in Space to take readers on an exploratory journey into the beyond.
“This will be a fabulous event for anyone with a curious mind”, said Acting Manager Library and Community Development Kristi Brooks.

Dr Matt will take the audience through a fun, information-packed and fascinating look at life in space, answering some questions you can’t stop thinking about: How did we get here? What makes the Earth so special? And where are the aliens?
Endorsed by Dr Karl Kruszelnicki alongside other science professionals, Dr Matt’s Guide to Life in Space has been hailed a fascinating read making the cosmically complex not just understandable but fun.
