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.
