This is the user page for Martin A. Walker, Assistant Professor of Chemistry at SUNY Potsdam. I am also the chair of the Northern New York section of the American Chemical Society.
I grew up in Newcastle Upon Tyne in the UK, and moved to the US in 1992. I married an American, Amy, in 1996 so I decided to stay on in the US. I now have two beautiful daughters, aged 1 and 6.
My interests are mainly in the area of organic synthesis, particularly green chemistry. I worked for 12 years in industry in the UK and the US, and this helps shape my view of process efficiency. I am also interested in Chemical information in general, and also Wikipedia. On Wikipedia I also coordinate the project for making offline releases of Wikipedia, known as Wikipedia 1.0; you can buy our 2007 test CD from wikipediaondvd.com. I would like one day to be able to perform research in exochemistry - it's out of this world!
I also have a research group which uses this wiki.
Current teaching
- Chemistry 395, Sustainable Manufacturing, is an online course based on this wiki.
- Chemistry 342, Organic Chemistry II, where students can use this wiki for work on their poster presentations.
- Chemistry 444, Advanced Organic Chemistry, where students use this wiki to write up their project on the total synthesis of a natural product.
