Biographical Info
The Mid-Atlantic Technology, Research and Innovation Center (MATRIC) is an independent, nonprofit, 501(c)(3) corporation located at the former world research headquarters of Union Carbide in South Charleston, West Virginia. Carbide, a homegrown West Virginia company, became a world leader in the chemical industry and created a research and development complex that consists of 650 acres and various facilities from office buildings, laboratories, and pilot plants to sites ready for new construction.
It was this first-rate research facility that brought a number of PhD-level researchers and other highly trained scientists and chemists to the community to develop, test, and commercialize many of the processes that dramatically changed or influenced the petrochemical industry worldwide.
