Martyn Wakeman

Martyn Wakeman serves as a Lecturer at École Polytechnique Fédérale de Lausanne (EPFL), actively contributing to academic programs at the intersection of sustainability and industrial transformation.

His research centers on circular economy implementation within industrial value chains, with particular emphasis on sustainable finance mechanisms, supply chain decarbonization, and climate scenario modeling. He investigates practical applications for reconfiguring financial systems in circular business models and developing sector-specific pathways toward net-zero transitions, especially in high-impact industries like advanced materials and carbon-intensive manufacturing.

Recent publications demonstrate a clear research trajectory toward solving systemic sustainability challenges through interdisciplinary approaches, blending financial innovation with industrial ecology principles. His work consistently addresses the operationalization of circular economy concepts in real-world industrial contexts, with growing focus on material-specific decarbonization strategies and financial system restructuring for sustainable value chains.
