Martin L. Green, Retired, National Institute of Standards and Technology
Martin (Marty) L. Green received a BS degree in metallurgical engineering and MS degree in physical metallurgy from the Polytechnic Institute of Brooklyn (now the NYU Tandon School Engineering). In 1977 he received his PhD degree in materials science from the Massachusetts Institute of Technology.
Green spent most of his career as a research scientist at Bell Laboratories (1970-1974 and 1978-2003) in Murray Hill, New Jersey, where he led research projects in the application of novel materials and processing for integrated circuit scaling and production. Between 2001 and 2003, he was a guest researcher at IMEC (Interuniversity MicroElectronics Center) in Leuven, Belgium.
In 2003 Green started work at the National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST) in Gaithersburg, Maryland, as leader of the Materials for Energy and Sustainable Development Group His group conducts research and develops and disseminates measurement science, data, standards, and technology pertaining to materials for energy and sustainable development applications, in partnership with U.S. industry, government agencies, and industry stakeholders. His group’s most current interest is in the application of artificial intelligence to the field of materials science.
Green served as President of MRS in 2001 and is an MRS Fellow. He has authored or co-authored over 225 papers and 10 books and has been granted 16 patents.
Green has 52 years of experience in the field of Materials Science, during which he has been involved in fundamental research, research management, product development, manufacturing, and public outreach. He passionately believes that materials are “technology enablers” and therefore a sine qua non for our modern world. As an alumnus, he hopes to engage with Tandon/Poly alumni, as well as to be a mentor to current students and to give back to the Tandon/Poly community by sharing his experiences and perspectives. His goal is to enable young people to have joyful, meaningful, and fulfilling careers in science and technology. Further, because Marty had a wonderful experience at Poly, he wants to make sure that NYU Tandon continues to excel.
