About

Douglas S. Martin (he/him)

Professor of Physics

I’m a biophysicist, using physics to understand the foundations of living systems.  I spend most of my time on microscope development and on studying the skeleton of biological cells, both with a host of talented undergraduate researchers. 

I teach classes across the physics curriculum, from Biophysics and Optics to Quantum Computing and General Relativity.  I’m also part of the pre-health advising team here at Lawrence, supporting students interested in dentistry or medicine.
