Professor Paul R Martin
Paul Martin obtained his PhD in physiology from the University of Sydney in 1986. He completed his postdoctoral training under a fellowship from the Alexander von Humboldt Foundation at the Max Planck Institute for Biophysical Chemistry, in Göttingen, and then at the Max Planck Institute for Brain Research, in Frankfurt, Germany.
He was appointed as Lecturer in the Department of Physiology, the University of Sydney in 1991 and promoted to Associate Professor in 2000.
In 2002 Paul was appointed Professorial Research Fellow at the University of Melbourne, and Director of Research at the National Vision Research Institute, where he has built a team with expertise in a wide range of electrophysiological and anatomical techniques ranging from single cell recording to immunocytochemistry and image processing. In 2006 he was made Professorial Fellow in the Department of Optometry, the University of Melbourne.
His research is chiefly devoted to a simple basic problem: the neuronal substrates of visual performance. Paul has contributed to and led investigations revealing the activity of the magnocellular, parvocellular and koniocellular pathways and their role in colour vision.
He has supervised and co-supervised 12 PhD, 2 Masters and 10 Honours Degrees since 1992.
