Peter Martin

Peter Martin is a Professor at the Canadian Institute for Theoretical Astrophysics (CITA), University of Toronto. He specializes in astrophysics research focusing on interstellar phenomena. His work includes studies of molecular hydrogen collisional processes, large-scale galactic surveys, and infrared imaging techniques using instruments like HiRes, MSX and SIRTF.

His primary research examines H II regions (particularly the Orion nebula), analyzing their structure, dynamics, and chemical composition. Additional research interests include interstellar dust polarization properties and galactic plane mapping through the Canadian Galactic Plane Survey project.
