Dr. W. R. Matson received his doctoral degree in Condensed Matter from Oklahoma State University in 2004. Since that time he has been an Assistant Professor at Universities in Michigan, Chicago, Minnesota, and South Dakota. His post-doctoral fellowship at Emory University investigated the dynamics of destructive rheology and shock physics, during which he developed integrated experimental hardware and software which included the use of time-dependent second-order dynamic feedback control system for a remote three-dimensional experimental apparatus. He is also the author of Earthquakes: The Sound of Multi-modal Waves. His current research interest is complex flow dynamics in the vicinity of rigid boundaries and obstructive objects. His ultimate research goal is a fundamental theory of viscosity based on first principles quantum molecular electrodynamics, and the physics governing energy diffusion within arbitrary liquids. The consequences of this research could revolutionize the fields of medicine, industrial engineering, food processing, oceanography, climatology, meteorology, and many more.
