Having grown up in Connecticut, Bill Martin completed a BA/MA dual degree
program in Mathematics at the State University of New York at Potsdam
in 1986, staying an extra semester to complete an undergraduate major in
Computer Science as well. He spent three summers (1986-8) as a Summer
Research Associate at Bell Laboratories in Holmdel, NJ, these last
while enrolled as a graduate student at the University of Waterloo in
Ontario. In 1992, Martin completed his PhD in Combinatorics and Optimization
at the University of Waterloo under the supervision of Chris Godsil. Martin has held tenured positions at the University of Winnipeg and at Worcester Polytechnic Institute, where he is currently Associate Professor of Mathematical Sciences with an affiliated appointment in Computer Science. He has held visiting positions at the University of Vermont (1992-3), the Center for Applied Cryptographic Research at the University of Waterloo (1999-2000) and the Department of Applied Mathematics at MIT (2006-7). From 2004 to 2006, he held the position of Associate Department Head in Mathematical Sciences at WPI. Martin is the author of over 30 scholarly publications in areas ranging from graph theory to cryptography, coding theory to quasi-Monte Carlo methods. His main focus is the combinatorial theory of association schemes. He has served as reviewer for grant proposals in five countries, referee for over a dozen scholarly journals, and has organized several special sessions and small conferences. Martin is a fellow of the Institute of Combinatorics and its Applications. Martin's research is currently funded by the National Security agency. In the past, he has received over ten years of funding through the NSF and Canada's NSERC and has been PI or co-PI on several hundreds of thousands of dollars worth of equipment grants. Bill is also interested in the teaching of mathematics, enrichment programs for K-12, and music. September 2006 CV, in PDF format.
