Early life and education

Martin was born and raised in rural western Pennsylvania. He chose to enroll at Carnegie Mellon University for his undergraduate degree in business but eventually switched to material science.[1] Following this, he completed his master's degree in 2006 and PhD in 2008 from the University of California, Berkeley.[2]

Career

Following his PhD, Martin served as a postdoctoral fellow in the quantum materials program at Lawrence Berkeley National Laboratory before accepting a faculty position at the University of Illinois Urbana-Champaign.[2] As an assistant professor of materials science and engineering, Martin received a National Science Foundation CAREER Award for his proposal, "Enhanced Pyroelectric and Electrocaloric Effects in Complex Oxide Thin Film Heterostructures."[3] He also helped devise a method to make thin films of ferroelectric material with twice the strain of traditional methods, giving the films exceptional electric properties.[4] In 2013, Martin was nominated for a Presidential Early Career Award for Scientists and Engineers by the United States Department of Defense "for his research accomplishments in the synthesis and study of multifunctional materials that have enabled the development and understanding of fundamentally new materials phenomena and potential for advanced devices."[5]

In 2014, Martin returned to his alma mater, the University of California, Berkeley, as a faculty member in their department of materials science and engineering.[6] As an associate professor of materials science and engineering, Martin oversaw a research team that found a way to control the movement and placement of electrons in graphene.[7] While serving in this role, he received the 2015 American Associate for Crystal Growth Young Author Award for his "outstanding accomplishments in the heteroepitaxial crystal growth of complex oxide thin films."[8] He also received the 2016 Robert L. Coble Award for Young Scholars from the American Ceramic Society for outstanding contributions in ceramics research.[9] In 2021, Martin was elected to the American Physical Society for his seminal contributions to the science of ferroelectrics.[10]

Personal life

Martin and his wife Sophi have one son together.[11]
