Overview Of Professional Character

Summary of Skills

Dr. Matson has broad experience working in both theoretical and experimental fields of physics and applied measurement. His experience includes development and use of both fundamental analytical models and computational models. He also has a range of experience in industrial component characterisation and measurement as well as more basic experimental measurements. Dr. Matson is well acquainted with optical and electronic hardware integration and computer control of such hardware. He has solid working knowledge of mathematical modelling utilising a range of computer languages including C, Fortran, Pascal, Mathematica, Maple, and machine languages. Working with volume visualisation of 3-D and 4-D data, he has acquired experience in high-level languages such as IDL, PV-WAVE, MatLab, AVS. He has worked extensively with data loggers and computer data acquisition including real-time high-throughput systems. He is well known for his problem solving abilities. With his creative touch, he frequently cobbles together working "physics toys".
