Associate Professor
Purdue University
West Lafayette, IN, United States
Professor Carlos J. Martinez received his Ph.D. in Materials Science and Engineering from the University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign with a specialization in ceramic film formation. He was awarded a National Research Council Postdoctoral fellowship in 2003, during which he worked with Steve Semancik in the Process Measurements Division at the National Institute of Standards and Technology. His research focused on the development of porous nanostructures for chemical sensing. After that, he spent two years as a visiting scientist in Professor David Weitz's group at Harvard University working on microfluidics and cell encapsulation.
Professor Martinez is currently an Associate Professor at Purdue University's School of Materials Engineering. His group specializes in microencapsulation, particle synthesis, and particle/colloidal interactions. They have developed encapsulation techniques based on double emulsion drop templating, interfacial polymerization, and vibration-assisted drop generation for high-throughput encapsulation. The group is also studying PFAS surfactant assembly and working on developing PFAS-free fire-fighting foam formulations.
