Biography

Jonathan P. Mathews is a coal scientist and a distinguished professor in the John Willie Leone Family Department of Energy and Mineral Engineering at Penn State University. He is a fellow of the American Chemical Society (ACS). His research focuses on the address relationship between coal structure and behavior, spanning various ranks and aspects of coal use. He is known for the creation and use of atomistic representations of coal and char, employing advanced analytical techniques to inform and constrain models, thereby capturing the structural diversity in a meaningful way and aiding in the rationalization of behavior. Currently, he is actively engaged in coalbed methane research, the development of carbon products from coal, and porosity modeling. His work includes extensive collaborations both domestically, with universities and national laboratories, and internationally in countries such as China, England, South Africa, and Australia.
