Paul Martin

Paul Martin is a Professor in the Department of Applied Mathematics and Statistics at the Colorado School of Mines. He holds editorial roles in journals including the SIAM Journal on Applied Mathematics and the Quarterly Journal of Mechanics and Applied Mathematics. His research focuses on wave scattering, diffraction, fracture mechanics, and integral equations, with notable contributions to acoustic and elastic wave phenomena. Martin authored influential books such as Time-Domain Scattering (2021) and Multiple Scattering (2006). He obtained his B.Sc. from the University of Bristol, followed by an M.Sc. and Ph.D. from the University of Manchester, specializing in fluid mechanics and applied mathematics.

His research explores wave behavior in complex media, including anisotropic and inhomogeneous materials, with applications to engineering and physics. Recent work addresses topics like peridynamic acoustics and T-matrix methods in thermo-visco-elastic scattering. Martin’s editorial activities reflect his leadership in applied mathematics and mechanics, promoting rigorous peer-reviewed scholarship.
