Bio

Dr Martinez received his PhD in Physics from RMIT University (Melbourne, Australia) in 2009 and then joined the University of Edinburgh as a post-doctoral researcher in 2009. Before his academic life, he spent 3 years as a junior scientist investigating the optical properties of colloidal suspensions and thin films for the paint & coating industry at COMEX (Mexico). Since 2009, Dr Martinez has developed innovative techniques to characterise movement within suspensions of biological particles (sperm, bacteria, and algae) and synthetic particles (e.g., colloids). He became a world-leading expert in this field while based at the University of Edinburgh. Having authored approximately 40 publications in this field, Dr Martinez has given over 50 international and national talks and invited seminars. At Dyneval, he heads the R&D team to investigate aspects that affect semen motility, including sample preparation, concentration, and the metabolic health of spermatozoa.
