Mattox obtained a PhD in Astrophysics from Stanford University (1987) and worked in that field for 20 years (with over 100 publications). In 2006, Mattox was motivated by the growing climate and energy problems that humanity faces to re-orient his research to an exploration of the potential for humanity to create a sustainable culture. His initial focus has been on renewable energy technology and policy. Here is a link to information about his research on sustainability.
