Martyn studied Materials Science and specialised in glass and ceramics under Dr. John Parker and Prof. Michael Cable at The University of Sheffield where his final year dissertation looked at the corrosion of AZS refractories in fibre glass.
Martyn has over 30 years’ experience in the design, development and production of silicate and non-silicate glasses for both commercial and scientific use, working globally with glassmakers. He is proud to be a Fellow of the Society of Glass Technology and has written numerous scientific papers as well as presenting Glass Technology Services research at conferences all around the world.
Martyn has worked on innovative glass for use within the biomaterials sector, leading developments into new techniques for additive manufacture and creating continuously drawn bioresorbale phosphate glass fibres.
Martyn has also worked on numerous projects looking at the recycling sustainability and optimisation for glasses, most recently looking at the introduction of alternate raw materials to promote materials recovery, increased recycled content and promotion of the understanding of sustainability for glass.

Meet the team - Martyn Marshall
Martyn has over thirty years’ experience working in the field of glass. As Principle Technologist at Glass Technology Services, Martyn works predominantly within the R&D team to design and develop glasses for a variety of applications.
Sustainable glass development – the methods, challenges and solutions
We know that glass is infinitely recyclable, but is this the same as being sustainable? We spoke to principal technologist, Martyn Marshall, about some of the ways we recycle glass, the technical challenges associated with sustainable glass making, and how we can overcome them.
AI6S project partnership announcement – examining energy and waste reduction in the foundation industries
Glass Technology Services will be taking part in the AI6S project which will develop a novel toolkit for process optimisation within the foundation industries.
