Research
Professor Matthews' research interests include natural language processing, ontologies,
parallel processing, and graph theory. His research was originally in graph theory
and in particular K1,3-free (clawfree) graphs. Then as a young Assistant Professor
in Computer Science there was a redirection from graph theory to more main stream
computer science topics. The first areas were parallel algorithms and functional programming.
The functional programming through some joint conferences led to artificial intelligence
and in particular intelligent user interfaces and natural language processing. The
interest in knowledge representation for natural language processing led to the research
in ontologies. Finally, working with Dr. Chin-Tser Huang, and our research group has
led to several publications in protocols for wireless security.
