Early life and education

Martin is from Glasgow. She studied Civil Engineering at the University of Glasgow, earning a Bachelor's degree in 1992. [1] [2] She specialised in statistics and the environment, and earned a second Bachelor's degree in statistics. [1] She remained at Glasgow for her graduate studies, earning a PhD in statistics. [1]

Research

Martin served as a Professor of Industrial Statistics and Director of the Biopharmaceutical Bioprocessing Technology Centre at the Newcastle University. [3] [4] She worked on statistical process control using the M2 statistic. [5] They demonstrated that the projection to latent structures is a robust multivariate linear regression technique. [6] She compared Wold's R criterion with the Akaike information criterion. [7] She led a project with GlaxoSmithKline, looking at microbiological techniques for pharmaceutical processes. [8] She contributed to the 1999 book Statistics and Neural Networks: Advances at the Interface. [9] Throughout her career she has been involved with the Engineering and Physical Sciences Research Council, and remains on their strategic advisory team. [10]

In 2015 Martin was appointed head of school of Chemical and Process Engineering at the University of Leeds. [1] She joined the trustee board of the Royal Academy of Engineering in 2015. [11] She serves on the Research Committee, providing strategic oversight on UK research activity. [12] She set up two national hubs intended to transform British manufacturing and ensure the country becomes more competitive; the Manufacture Using Advanced Powder Processes hub and the Continuous Manufacturing and Advanced Crystallisation hub. [13] She is also Chairman of the Heads of Chemical Engineering UK, [14] She is part of the Centre for Process Innovation (CPI) National Formulation Centre, [15] where has worked on liquid products, developing sensors and control elements. [16]

She serves on the governing body of the University Technical College Leeds. [17] She is a member on the Innovation Strategy Board of the innovate UK Knowledge Transfer Network. [18] She has judged the UK Parliamentary and Scientific Committee STEM for Britain competition. [19]
