As a faculty member at Iowa State University for nearly 30 years,  Professor Martin has attained all academic ranks that the university offers. He is one of only two faculty members in the more than 160 year history of Iowa State to hold both titles as Distinguished Professor and University Professor. The former title being awarded for his extensive research accomplishments and the latter title being awarded for his “change agent” impact on and service to the university.

Professor Martin has served the university in nearly all levels of educational, research, committee, service, and institutional work and is intimately familiar with both the research and teaching missions of a comprehensive research I university.
