About:Mathews is a coal scientist and professor of energy and mineral engineering who has been a faculty member at Penn State since 2000. He received his B.Sc. in applied chemistry from Nottingham Trent University in England and his Ph.D. in fuel science from Penn State. His research interests address the relationship between coal structure and behavior spanning all ranks and nearly all aspects of coal use. He is well known for the creation and use of atomistic representations of coal and char but also employs advanced analytical techniques to inform and constrain the models. It is capturing the structural diversity, in a meaningful way, that has aided improving the rationalization of behavior. He is active in coalbed methane research along with carbon dioxide sequestration in coal. He is also active in coal pyrolysis, coal combustion, oxy-fuel combustion, coal gasification, and coal liquefaction. He has extensive domestic (universities and national labs) and international collaborations (China, England, South Africa, and Australia). He is an American Chemical Society Fellow and recipient of teaching awards including the Mitchell Award for Innovative Teaching; and the Wilson Award for Outstanding Teaching.Research Interests:• Atomistic representations of coal/char/coke/soot• Chemical and physical structure of coal/char/coke/soot • Linking structural representation to complex behavior and reactivity • Coal to liquids research • CO2 sequestration in coal and coalbed methane Memberships & Committees:• U.S. representative on the International Organizing Committee of the International Coal Science and Technology Conference (2011 – present)• Penn State representative to the Coal Utilization Research Council (2014 – present) • Chair International Conference on Coal Science and Technology 2013 at Penn State • University-level conflict of Interest committee (2015 – present) • Graduate Council Committee on Graduate Fellowships and Awards (2013 – present) • Materials Simulation Center Steering Committee Member (2013 – 2015) • Interim Graduate Program Officer Energy and Geo-Environmental Engineering (2007 – 2008) • Chair of the EMS Museum Advising Committee (2008 – 2014) • Secretary EMS Museum Advising Committee (2005 – 2008) • Chair of the Fixed-Term & Research Advisory Committee (2007 – 2008) Member (2006 – 2007) • AESEDA Strategic Planning Committee (2008) • EMS Energy & EESI Institutes Promotion Committee (2009-2012) • EMS College Fixed-Term Promotion Committee (2012 – present) • Departmental Tenure and Promotion Committee (term 2015 – 2017) • EMS College Equity Dean Search member (2015) • Elected Director of Advertising for the Division of Fuel Chemistry (1998 - present). • Member of the Faculty Think Tank (advising group to World campus: technology based distance education). • Associate of the E-education Institute. • Member, Division of Petroleum Chemistry, Fuel Chemistry & Geochemistry in the American Chemical Society.
