Mathew is interested in the application of technology in marketing. His research focuses on analytics, big data and digital communication. Mathew's work in Public Health led to the developing of a dynamic transactional model of communication for communicating health messages via social media. This research was a finalist in the 2020/21 Business Research Translation Award. Mathew pioneered a method to use natural language processing for studying marketing phenomena. In one study, using supervised machine learning, he quantified human values and used them in conjunction with voting intentions to improve the predictions of political election results.
Mathew teaches Sales & Sales Management at the undergraduate level and Digital Marketing at the postgraduate level. He supervises postgraduate and PhD research in digital communication and branding, sustainability and political election and crisis management.
