研究领域

G. Peter Matthews is Professor in Applied Physical Chemistry in the School of Earth, Ocean and Environmental Sciences at the University of Plymouth. He is also CEO and director of PoreXpert Ltd, the university’s main spin-out company, selling consultancy services and the PoreXpert suite of software described below. Matthews studied chemistry at Oxford University, gaining a distinction in chemical pharmacology, and going on to be awarded a doctorate there for research into the measurement and computer modelling of the flow of simple gases. Subsequently he supervised and developed Oxford’s physical chemistry teaching laboratories while a college lecturer at St Catherine’s College, before moving to Plymouth in 1985. He has maintained an interest in teaching, having been HEFCE national assessor for Chemistry and Environmental Science, developing these courses at Plymouth, and acting as chair for numerous other course validations. His Environmental and Fluid Modelling research interests are currently concerned with fluid flow in porous materials, particularly when this has environmental importance. His research group currently comprises an industrially sponsored research lecturer, two PhD students, and one internal and three external post-doctoral fellows. He has previously supervised 20 PhDs, 17 as P.I., to successful and timely completion. He has attracted £4.8m of research funding to date, the sources of which have been research councils (NERC Environmental Diagnostics programme, NERC NE/K004212/1, EPSRC GR/K70489 and BBSRC BB/E001793/1, BB/E001793/1), industry (British Gas / Transco, Omya AG, EDF), and purchasers of the software described below. He has written 152 publications in research and pedagogy, including a 500 page textbook on Experimental Physical Chemistry (Oxford University Press, 1985), and over 35 consultancy reports.
