He was instrumental in the development and founding of the data science degree programs and the Center for Data Science and Consulting at Loyola. He now serves as the director for the Center for Data Science and Consulting.[4][5] Matthews has also organized the ASA DataFest at Loyola University Chicago since 2016, for which he chairs the organizing committee.[6][7]
Matthews has a multitude of publications on various topics in applied statistics[1], including missing data methods, statistical disclosure control, statistical shape analysis, and statistics in sports.[2] His research papers have been published in prominent statistics journals such as The Annals of Applied Statistics[8], Journal of Quantitative Analysis in Sports[9], Journal of Statistical Software[10], The American Statistician.[11], and Scientific Data.[12]
