Dr. Martin is currently the Chief of the Materials and Construction Research Division of BFRL. This division includes four research groups which he oversees: Structures, Construction Metrology and Automation, Polymeric Materials, and Inorganic Materials. He also administers the activities of the Construction Materials Research Laboratory. In 1978, Dr. Martin joined the Polymeric Materials Group in the Building and Fire Research Laboratory at NIST, as a materials research engineer. In 1994, he became the Leader for the Polymeric Materials Group. He was responsible for the research of 35 staff members, and has directed the Coatings Service Life Prediction Consortium from 1994 to the present. Dr. Martin has over 140 publications, 2 patents, and has co-edited three proceedings books. Dr. Martin's research interests include the implementation of a reliability-based methodology for predicting the weathering service life of polymeric materials. Implementation of this methodology has many aspects, including the development of novel metrologies for characterizing coatings, the derivation and validation of mathematical models for characterizing degradation and linking field and laboratory exposure results, implementation of a high-throughput, and informatics systems capable of improving measurement and data analysis efficiency. Recent progress toward this goal includes the validation of both the reciprocity and additivity laws for polymer degradation, deriving models for linking field and laboratory exposure results, designing and building a novel laboratory exposure device called the NIST SPHERE (Simulated Photodegradation by High Energy Radiant Exposure), and, finally, establishing an experimental and mathematical linkage between field and laboratory exposure results for a study polymer. Dr. Martin has received numerous awards for his research. He has earned an R&D 100 award for his research on the roughness of metallic surfaces using infrared thermography. From the Federation of Societies for Coatings Technology, Dr. Martin won the 1990 Best Corrosion paper award, the 1995 Technical Focus Speaker Award, the 2003 second place Roon Award, the 2004 first place Roon Award, the 2004 John Gordon Best Paper Award, and the 2006 Mattiello Lecture Award. From the U.S. Department of Commerce, he received a Bronze Medal Award in 1996 and the William P. Slichter Award in 2004. The American Chemical Society awarded him the 2006 American Chemical Society Tess Award and the Federation of Societies for Coatings Technology 2006 Mattiello Award. Since 1997, Dr. Martin has co-chaired four international symposia on the service life prediction of polymeric materials. These were held in 1997, 1999, 2003, and 2006. The proceedings book for the fourth international symposium will be published in 2008. |
