Early life and education

Martin is from Newcastle upon Tyne. 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]
