Dr Jacob Martin

Jacob Martin completed a Bachelor of Science with First Class Honours in Chemistry and Physics followed by Masters in Chemistry at the University of Auckland (New Zealand). This included research in the areas of ultrafast spectroscopy, Raman spectroscopy, Bayesian data analysis, computational chemistry and microfluidics. He received his PhD in 2019 at the University of Cambridge studying the formation of soot in flames using molecular dynamics and electronic structure methods to explore the self-assembly of soot and disordered carbon materials. In 2020 he was a research fellow at the Cambridge Centre for Carbon Reduction in Chemical Technology in Singapore working with industry to decarbonise the petrochemical sector. In 2021 he was awarded the Forrest Fellowship to study the storage of hydrogen in carbon nanomaterials at Curtin University in Perth, Australia. In 2024, he began as lecturer in the discipline of Physics and Astronomy at Curtin University and Group leader of the Curtin Carbon Group.
