Martin is currently serving a two year term as President of the American Association of Textile Chemists and Colorists (www.aatcc.org). Previously he has chaired the AATCC committees on Applied Dyeing Theory, Safety, Health and Environmental Technology, and Publications, and served as the Association's New England Regional Vice President.    He is also a Fellow of the Society of Dyers and Colourists, and a Fellow of the Royal Society of Chemistry. 

At the undergraduate level he teaches textile science subjects, including TMD 303, 313 (Textile Science and Lab), TMD 403 (Textile Performance), TMD 413 (Dyeing and Finishing) and TMD 113 (Color Science). 

Research interests are dyeing, printing, dyestuff analysis, wool processing, and color science, the environmental effects of textile processing, and biomedical textiles. He has worked on pollution prevention projects in Tunisia, Ecuador and India.  With Margaret Ordoñez he recently finished a contract to provide the FBI a database of dyed fibers, and spoke at the Fall 2004 Forensic Science seminar series.  He is working on a number of grants to develop infection resistant medical materials, most of it in cooperation with BioSurfaces of Ashland, MA.  One project has resulted in a patent for a multifunctional wound dressing: more details are in an extract from the patent disclosure.  Another patent application deals with a nanofibrous small-diameter artificial artery: details of this invention are available in an extract from the patent disclosure!.
