Dr. Mathews joined Penn State in 1987. His current research interests include ionospheric electrodynamics, instabilities, and layering processes—radar meteor studies including radio science, aeronomy of the meteoroid mass flux, orbital determination and evolution, origins of interplanetary and interstellar particles, system-of-systems autonomous sensor systems, radar signal processing, and novel signal processing systems. He has continuously conducted research at Arecibo Observatory since 1969 and has held NSF grants for observational research at AO since 1975. He has served the National Astronomy and Ionosphere Center in many capacities including consultant in various activities, member of the Arecibo Scientific Advisory Committee, and recently as member and chairman of the Arecibo Advisory Board and Visitors Committee. He is a member of the American Geophysical Union, URSI (International Union of Radio Sciences) Commissions G and H, IEEE (senior), European Geophysical Society, the Division for Planetary Sciences of the American Astronomical Society, Sigma Xi, and Eta Kappa Nu.
