Matthew Bahnson studies engineering graduate education, focusing on why doctoral and master's students persist, switch labs, or leave their programs, and on mentorship and advising relationships in engineering PhD and postdoctoral training. Some of his work also examines professional culture and inclusion issues, such as LGBTQ competency training and experiences of harassment in surgical training environments. His research relies mainly on qualitative and mixed-methods approaches, such as interviews and latent profile analysis, to understand student and trainee experiences.
