PhD, University of Strathclyde, Glasgow, U.K.
Dr. Mathew's main research areas are corrosion and tribocorrosion aspects of implant bio-materials in dentistry and orthopaedics.

As the behavior of a metal implant (dental implants, TMJ implants) in a body environment is a complex issue, the objective of his research is to find an optimum solution related to longevity, biocompatibility and stability by adopting an interdisciplinary approach. By using the concept of synergism between wear and corrosion (tribocorrosion), he would like to understand not only the degradation mechanisms but also provide solutions to prevent the failure and/or early prediction of the failure processes. Such findings can be useful in producing implants with customized surfaces, with superior wear and corrosion resistance, with the required biocompatibility.
He received his PhD in Mechanical Engineering from University of Strathclyde, Glasgow, U.K. and completed his postdoctoral training in tribocorrosion at University of Minho, Portugal. Dr. Mathew T. Mathew, is an associate professor in the Department of Biomedical Science at the University of Illinois College of Medicine at Rockford. Before coming to Rockford, he was an assistant professor at the Department of Orthopedic Surgery at Rush University Medical Center, Chicago and also research assistant professor at the College of Dentistry, University of Illinois, Chicago
