Dr. Duncan Martin is Head of Entrepreneurship at the Bayes Centre, the University of Edinburgh's Innovation Hub for Data Science and Artificial Intelligence. His career spans both academia and industry, beginning with a PhD in Neuroscience followed by five years at a global contract research organisation.

In 2008, he joined the University of Edinburgh as Scientific Business Manager, progressing to Head of Operations for the university's medical imaging facilities over 14 years.
