Professor Craig Martin specializes in the Italian Renaissance and Early Modern history of science. He teaches the history of science, the scientific revolution and Renaissance Natural Philosophy at Università Ca' Foscari Venezia. He is the recipient of several prestigious honors and several fellowships, among them a Huntington Library Long-Term Fellowship in 2008-2009, a fellowship at the American Academy in Rome in 2011-2012 and a Folger Shakespeare Library Fellowship in 2014-2015. He is the author of Renaissance Meteorology: Pomponazzi to Descartes (2011) in which he explains scientific theories about the weather during the Renaissance, including topics such as the causes of natural disasters and the use of alchemy to understand the weather; in his second book, Subverting Aristotle: Philosophy, History, and Religion in Early Modern Science (2014), he discusses how scholars used history to determine whether Aristotle's philosophy could be reconciled with Christianity.
