Matt Byrne

Director of Deliberation Research

I’ve spent my academic and professional career leading and supporting projects that help improve how we think, relate, and solve problems across differences. I’ve published graduate research on improving deliberation design, led Gnomi, a news app that used A.I. to grade media bias, and worked across the political bridge-building field with organizations like AllSides, Listen First Project, Bridge Alliance, and Braver Angels.

At Unify America, I get to dedicate my passion for improving collective decision-making and contribute to a vision of 21st century policymaking that empowers and inspires citizens to work together and solve our shared problems.
