Faculty and Staff

Kevin Martus

Professor • Department of Mathematical Sciences

After earning a Ph.D. in Physics from Lehigh University Professor Martus started working as a post-doctoral researcher at the Jet Propulsion Laboratory in Pasadena, CA. In 1993, he began a tenure track position at William Paterson University and is now a Full Professor in the Department of Mathematical Sciences. In his over twenty-five years of teaching, Professor Martus has taught a variety of undergraduate courses including Acoustics, Astronomy, Electronics, and General Physics I, II, and III.

Professional Interests

Professor Martus has co-authored twenty-five refereed journal papers and presented numerous papers at technical conferences. The subject of the majority of papers he co-authored were in the field of atomic and molecular physics, with a specialization in low-energy electron collisions with atoms and molecules. Recently, the focus of his research has switched to the field of plasma physics.
