Since joining Boston University in 2001, Martin has focused on high-performance computing using accelerators such as FPGAs and GPUs, particularly in their application to computational problems in biology (Bioinformatics and Computational Biology), and in creating a development environment for those applications. This work is being supported by grants from the National Institutes of Health and is also supported by IBM, Xilinx, SGI, XtremeData, and Altera. Other recent work involves fault-tolerant computation in space (supported by the Naval Research Lab) and in mapping algorithms to FPGA-based supercomputers (supported by the MIT Lincoln Lab). Previously, Martin was on the faculty of the University of Houston (1994 to 2001), where he founded the Computer Architecture and Automated Design research group, which was funded by grants from the Compaq Computer Corporation (now part of HP), the National Science Foundation (including a CAREER grant), and the THECB through the Advanced Technology Program. In 1999 he was a visiting scientist at the National Center for Atmospheric Research investigating issues in supercomputer interconnection networks. Martin was the Associate Director for Operations of the Texas Center for Computational and Information Sciences from 1997-2001. He received the 2000-2001 College of Engineering Award for Excellence in Research. Martin received the B.A. degree in Physics and Philosophy from the University of Pennsylvania in 1981 and the Ph.D. degree in Computer Science from the University of Massachusetts in 1994. At the University of Massachusetts, he was an IBM Doctoral Fellow from 1991-1993 and an ARPA Doctoral Fellow during 1993-1994. Before that, Martin spent four years at GCA corporation where he held various positions including project manager for control systems software and staff scientist for alignment systems. Martin is the author or co-author of 6 book chapters and more than 80 refereed papers, and has given more than 30 invited seminars and colloquia. An article on his work (with Matt Chiu) on accelerating molecular dynamics simulations received the Outstanding Paper Award at the 2009 International Conference on Field Programmable Logic and Applications. An article on his work in automated computer design received the Outstanding Paper Award at the 1995 International Conference on Computer Design. Martin was the recipient of an IBM Faculty Award in 2008 for excellence in research. He has been active with various conferences, particularly Field Programmable Custom Computing Machines and Field Programmable Logic and Applications. Together with Wei Qin, Martin was General Chair of the 2007 edition (5th) of the Boston Area Architecture Workshop and with Miriam Leeser was the General Chair of the 2009 edition (20th) of the IEEE International Conference on Application Specific Systems Architectures and Processors (ASAP). |
