Randall Martin, the Raymond R. Tucker Distinguished Professor in the McKelvey School of Engineering at Washington University in St. Louis, has been named an inaugural Highly Ranked Scholar in 2024 by ScholarGPS. In addition, he was named one of the top environmental scientists in the world in 2024 by Research.com. 

Highly ranked scholars are authors whose ranking places them in the top 0.05% of all scholars due to their lifetime scholarly contributions in the following four categories: overall (all fields); in their specific field; in their specific discipline; and in all specialties with which they are associated. 

Martin was ranked No. 15 on the list of highly ranked scholars – lifetime in the satellite specialty. ScholarGPS noted Martin’s 360 publications, 55,432 predicted citations, and a predicted h-index of 126. 

Research.com ranked Martin as one of the top environmental scientists in the world, coming in at No. 52 in the world and No. 28 in the United States. He is also consistently named among the most highly cited researchers in the sciences by the Institute for Scientific Information, which ranks researchers whose publications that rank in the top 1% by citations for field and publication year in the Web of Science citation index. 

Martin, a professor in the Department of Energy, Environmental & Chemical Engineering, is a leading expert on atmospheric composition. His research focuses on characterizing atmospheric composition to inform effective policies surrounding major environmental and public health challenges ranging from air quality to climate change. Applications of his work include population exposure for health studies, top-down constraints on emissions and analysis of processes that affect atmospheric composition.
